A few reasons why it could be possible: 1. Future nuclear detonations could be much more powerful than what we very loosely know is possible - as well as longer radiation effects

2. Where did you come up with the 60k figure? And 10 years?

3. The show states that with over 100 years of no maintenance, the nuclear power plants essentially melt down. That seems reasonable - what doesn't seem quite believable is that they all melt down at once. That said, the show offers that they were all built during the overcrowding/lack of resources era. It seems odd that during that era, there wouldn't have been other energy sources developed, but this is apocalyptic fiction.

4. Chernobyl anyone? Imagine that in the future, more powerful plants, more nuclear plants, etc.
