A nuclear bunker. Or a damp (not wet) teatowel.

There is very little anyone can do to protect themselves from a nuke blast. The super-bombs which have been available since the 1960s destroy everything for many square miles around.
If the nuke weapon used/dropped is a sky burst, it will explode above the city and spread nuke fallout over a vast area. People who do not die on day one are the unlucky ones – they will die slowly and mostly in pain without help because there simply won’t be any help.
These links below may hold out some hope of survival or give some useful advice about how best to survive after the blast etc.

nothing can help u for surviving in cases of nuclear blasts, but i think a bunker will help u…however, hope that no blasts or fall out will be where u live….

Let us hope that this never happens!
I will present a brief list of nuclear fallout survival aids with an explanation for the use of each.
Tinned foods, dried foods, preserved foods etc.., These foods will not become contaminated so easily as fresh foods and will last for a much longer time!
Dried seaweed – it contains iodine and is best consumed rapidly after the nuclear attack because one of the fall out isotopes would be radio-iodine I37. Thus, the iodine from these foods would help to protect your thyroid glands from radio-iodide poisoning!
A radio – to listen into emergency broadcast advice.
Water storage containers – to prevent your water supply becoming contaminated.
Masking tape – to seal doors and windows against radioactive dust entering the building.
These are just a few items that might assist survival after nuclear attack!

I suggest you raid a folk museum and find all the gadgets which my Granny (b.1888) used – she had no electricity till sometime in the late 1940’s/50’s.
A method of heating food and water, knives and an axe for chopping wood. Saucepans. earthenware coolers. A cassette toilet and a supply of yeast tablets in lieu of chemicals for it. A water carrier. Sterilising tablets for water.
Raid a chemist for antibiotics and a full medicine cupboard for all eventualities.
Raid a seed merchant for grains, etc. to sow when the ground is viable.
A loom? Spinning wheel? knitting needles? assuming that sheep/goats have survived. Sewing needles, scissors.
An SAS Survival book! “Food for Free” book. Flints, large mortar & pestle.
A horse for transport – no petrol or diesel.
Rope, Pencils, paper

Quite shallow trenches can protect from nuclear blast. An 18 inch deep trench will protect you, with a groundsheet covering at around 800m from a multi-megaton detonation (a pity about the radiation, though).
So! If you survive the initial blast and radiation, the survival issue revolves around alpha and beta radiation. Both are relatively easy to avoid.
A covering of rubbish bags will be sufficient to ward off dust and polluted rain. However, to minimise the “sunburn” effect of the residual radiation, make an over cloak and trousers of space blanket material (a snip at around £1.50 per blanket). This will take care of contaminated rain, dust and act as a good barrier against radiation.
A decontamination area is essential. A perforated bucket makes an adequate shower, as long as you can find an uncontaminated water source!
If you are fortunate enough to find a shed, or house, still standing. Replace the broken windows with cling film layers. Shredded newspaper makes good insulation, when stuffed into old duvet covers and the like.
I would, if I were paranoid, keep a couple of dozen space blankets. These can be stitched together, to make large sacks. Pierce the sacks with string, so the sides are kept to about 6″ apart. These can be lightly stuffed with shredded newspaper and used as sleeping tent walls and ceiling, around your makeshift duvet cover sleeping bags.
Remember to sleep with your boots under your sleeping bags, else the Nuclear Winter freezes them solid!
Make sure you confine your feeding to canned foods! Less likelihood of radiation contamination!

That bunker built by that German pervert monster might come useful after all…
(I know that was baaaad)
Not much can help you survive the effects and aftermath of a nuclear explosion, but you could make a breathing mask out of something, it would help you avoid breathing in radioactive dust.

A lead-lined fridge worked for Indiana Jones!
But in reality, there’s nothing that’s going to work apart from getting far, far away. So I would say the most useful object would be a car. Or a private jet, if you happen to have one, would be better, as it’s faster.
