Radiation isn't really so long-term dangerous.72 hours and only radionuclides near epicentre remain deadly. Of course there would be much higher cancer rates and mutations,but chemicals used in Vietnam war can cause such things too...
It is of course not healthy,too many people would get radiation disease,cancer and so on - but population can survive.Actually despite much higher rate of mutations Chernobyl zona in Ukraine is full of wildlife (except some very irradiated places like red forrest).
By the way - nuclear bomb causes high temperatures and shock wave. So of course wooden structures had no chance.
wow 50k years of radiation sure goes by fast...
