I was thinking more along the lines of what effect it would have on the game. When it happens, you'll have a nuclear winter effect for a couple years, which means famines. When it occurs in the timeline will determine how much effect it has in game. If it occurred 140 years ago, it'll reshape some geography, but most of it's effect will be gone, except for making part of the US unrecognizable to the PCs. OTOH, if it happened 6 months before waking up, it may impede the PCs immediately and provide some natural challenges.
