Why can a cockroach survive a nuclear bomb? can cockroaches survive a nuke
With much slower cell reproduction cycle, roaches can withstand radiation, unless they are going through the 'molting process' or 'exoskeleton growing phase' when they are weak and vulnerable to the exposure with a high probability of fatality. Directly exposed to a nuclear blast, they succumb to intense heat.
