I seem to remember it's written somewhere amongst the rulebooks that the aftereffects of the nuclear strikes were purposely watered down just so the characters might actually have a chance of doing something besides pure survival.
Damn hard to get around, contribute to rebuilding society and so on when you're 60% focused on finding your next non-irradiated meal and 40% on minimsing your rads by staying in a crude fallout shelter.
Two other books I would reccomend reading are "Z for Zachariah" by Robert C. O'Brien and "Wolf and Iron" by Gordon R Dickson.
The first, while a younger readers book, is quite grim in it's portrayal of the world and the second is set in a non-nuclear post holocaust world but one I feel fits nicely with T2K.
