How can you survive a nuclear explosion?

You can survive a nuclear explosion if you are far enough away from it for the initial heat and blast to have little or no effect on you. You then need to be deep enough underground or in a well-built shelter to avoid the radioactive fallout that would occur for days and weeks after the explosion. If you are far enough away, deep enough into a shelter, and have enough food, water, sanitation, medicine and luck, you would survive. To what end, who knows? But you'd be alive.
