If it was a nuke, there's no way any of them would be alive.

It had to be a conventional warhead.

But then, as Vespasian222 pointed out, the ridiculous levels of radiation and Outsider immunity, as compared to Mountain Men, we can guess the skin cells of the typical Grounder living outside, must be at least 40% lead. Sky People, with their supposed even higher resistance to radiation, would need to have an even higher persentage. If so, maybe the writers will try that steaming pile of elephant dung to explain how anyone within 5 miles of Tondc could survive a nuke strike.
