It could but most likely not since the heat from the bomb could basically burn through anything and late on in your life you could die from radiation.

What does the come back 'It's right up there with duck and cover' mean?
If someone said to you, "It's right up there with duck and cover", I think that they're trying to tell you that something is misinformation, not very smart, or dangerous advice. The term 'duck and cover' comes from the 1950s. It was a Cold War government campaign for the population to avoid getting injured if attacked by an atomic bomb dropped by the Soviets. We had 'duck and cover' drills just like fire drills. This preventive measure consisted of the class lining up on either side of the hallway outside the classroom, bunching our bodies on the floor, knees to chin, while covering out heads with our arms and hands. If there wasn't an adequate hallway, we got under our desks. This campaign eventually came into disrepute because, if an atomic bomb was dropped, this technique would do nothing to protect us from the radiation. It turned into a joke. See the link below for some samples of this campaign.
What led to duck and cover drills and bomb shelters in the United States during the Cold War?
arm race
What was used to make an atomic bomb attack seem less dangerous?
Bert the Turtle appeared in filmstrips featuring a cheery little jingle called "Duck and Cover". The films suggested that it was possible to survive an atomic bomb simply by, well, ducking and covering the back of your neck with your head. This would do approximately nothing for people close to the blast, but they likely wouldn't have time to do it anyway, and against conventional explosives or at some distance from a nuclear blast, it would help mitigate the immediate effects.
Why is the phrase duck and cover repeated many times throughout the video?
"Duck and cover" was repeated throughout the video in order to show students that it was very simple and easy to be safe during an atom bomb attack.
What are the bomb shelters and duck and cover drills?
Back in the 1950's into early 60's, there were atomic bomb shelters in most towns in the basement of buildings and schools. (Because of the Cold War threat from the Soviet Union). We also had drills in school where, when the bell would ring continuously, everyone had to move under their desk or into the hallway, crouch down facing the wall and tucking our heads down.
