Rats, like all mammals, have a similar LD50 for ionizing radiation as humans. Therefor they would have about the same chance of survival we have. They might survive the thermal flash better, as they tend to prefer to hide in dark places, so they would not be exposed; but resulting secondary fires are as likely to kill them as us.

If nuclear war takes place wll cockroaches survive?
Yes, it has been proven and tested that cockroaches will survive. Their resistances to radiation are extremely high, and that's one of the reasons they survived when the dinosaurs didn't.
How radiation is linked to chernobyl and hiroshima?
A nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. And in 1986 a nuclear accident occurred at Chernobyl. That's why radiation is linked with either of them.

Can a rat survive an atomic bomb?
No animals can survive atomic bombs. However, some animals, especially refering to cockroaches, can survive radiation up to a certain level.
What insects can survive a nuclear blast?
A direct nuclear blast - nothing. However it is said that cockroaches would possibly survive radiation where other animals would be killed.
How do you survive a nuclear explosion?
Receive treatment for radiation poisoning after you avoid the heat and force of the explosion itself
Can a scorpian survive a nuclear explosion?
No cockroaches are one of the few organisms able to survive nuclear explosions. Scorpions cannot.
Why do cockroaches survive a nuclear bomb?
The radiation LD50 of most insects is far higher than the LD50 of mammals.
Why can cockroaches survive a nuclear explosion?
Cockroaches would out-survive humans when being exposed to increased levels of radiation. However, most other insects can out-survive cockroaches, and some microbes can out-survive insects. A reason most insects can endure high levels of radiation is that their cells divide less frequently. Radiation interferes with the way cells divide. Every division multiplies the damage caused by radiation. If a cell divides less frequently, accumulation of damage will occur with less speed. Insects are thus less affected by radiation.
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
Will roachs surive a nuclear bomb?
Not if they are close enough. While tough, they will NOT survive heat, blast, and high radiation levels.
What is the most likely to survive a nuclear war?
Underground bunkers or shelters specifically designed to withstand nuclear blasts and radiation would be the most likely to survive a nuclear war. These structures provide protection from the initial explosion and fallout, increasing the chances of survival for those inside.
Will a cockroach survive a nuclear explosion?
Cockroaches are known for their resilience and ability to survive extreme conditions, but it is unlikely that they would survive a nuclear explosion due to the intense heat, pressure, and radiation levels produced. The blast would likely be lethal to them.
Can video cameras survive a nuclear explosion?
A sufficient distance, shielded from direct radiation, photographing an indirect image via a mirror.
