I looked this up because I remembered reading that nuclear bombs don't have an excessively long fallout, since most of the energy is designed to be released during the detonation (as opposed to an accident like Chernobyl)
Sources say minimum of 24 hours, after levels fall significantly but you should still wait for direction. Another source said 3-5 weeks. Hmm.
It's really hard to know because the nuclear weapons we have now are far more powerful and use different materials than the only two ever used in wartime.
Good call, especially if the fallout is the point.
