Just because you wonder it doesn't mean it will happen. But sometimes it can be a good thing to figure these things out, either for the media or for more practical purposes, like evacuating a downtown in the threat of nuclear war, where it is safest to put people, etc.
For instance, design a building who's glass will instantly darken when the nuke goes off, shielding some of the heat and radiation damage, allowing occupants to [quickly] get into a nuke-proof stairwell or core to survive the shockwave and latent heat/radiation of the blast.
