> most likely to survive a nuclear bomb if you're closer

How so? All of the effects get stronger the closer you get. The thermal radiation gets you the furthest away, but if you're close by, you get the pressure and a much higher level of thermal radiation.

(There is some discussion to be had about the reflected shockwave but if you're close enough for that to matter, it doesn't matter...)
