Because highly damaging radioactive material has a relatively short half life if you can avoid it for a few weeks you could at least survive the initial few months. Reality is if the area you are in is contaminated with radioactive material you will not be able to avoid absorbing damaging radiation and as such you are going to shorten your life. I don't know which would be worse, dying in a nuclear attack or surviving!
