I've been blowing up bases all morning. Assuming this is close to accurate, even a payload measured in multiple megatons (many times bigger than Hiroshima or Nagasaki) doesn't actually doesn't reach THAT far and it kind of matches what I've read in the books. So my conclusion is that there is actually value in choosing locations away from US bases and other potential targets. Nuclear war is TOTALLY survivable but you have to be not thick enough to be defeatist.
Of course, the prime targets are US bases so other potential targets are probably secondary but you have remember something..... altitude (height above sea level) might actually benefit you in numerous ways if its a long term thing.
