That's the thing that breaks my immersion. I know that 200 years would make the area completely taken over by nature. It would look more like Horizon rather than Fallout. Not sure I'd dig trenches or anything, but radiation would be much more minimal.

Hiroshima is a thriving city nowadays, with the building that survived still there
We can't all live in Iceland. Somebody has to choose violence, because others will choose violence for you. You can't simply reason with Russia who invaded their neighbors every eight years.
