    Most modern nuclear weapons are not very radioactive. Hydrogen bombs do release a bit of radiation when they first explode, but it dissipates really quick.

      The problem is that nuclear bomb targets include nuclear reactors in their lists. Also the toxic chemicals that would burn up and then fall into the top soil and fresh water sources.

        Ah yeah for sure. The world would definitely become toxic, and with all the nuclear power plants and reactors going without maintenance or getting directly damaged, there would be a shit ton of radiation in many places.
