Please don't take this as mean-spirited, because it isn't. I'm trying to understand the 'why'.

Why do people want nuke-alerts unless they're working around the stuff, in which case your employer should be providing them?

If there is a nuclear leak or a bomb is dropped, you're probably going to know about it. If a bomb is dropped, you need to take shelter ASAP, change your clothing and wash off any possible radioactive dust. If the S has HTF, what good will it do you to know your radiation level? If your hospitals aren't already out of supplies by the time you get there, the waiting line will probably be so long that it's useless anyway.

Please explain.

It seems that buying a parachute for a train ride would be more appropriate.
