while no cockroach could survive an actual blast, some experts believe a cockroach could withstand the fallout, the residual radiation hazard from a nuclear explosion. cockroaches can absorb a lot of radiation compared to humans. this would mean that some would be unaffected by the initial radiation and thus survive.

Lol I guess they could. If they were able to survive since the early history of thea earth, and survived that explosion that killed all the dinosaurs, I don't see why a nuclear blast would end their species.
