Here are a couple of resources I found handy back in the day. More may come as I can find them.
"Nuclear War Survival Skills" by Cresson Kearny. The one I had was the 1979 edition, and this edition is newer and updated, but still from 1987.
The next link is to the manual on effects of nuclear weapons that Gladstone wrote for the DoD. It's where I got my formulas to compute blast effects from: "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons" 1977 edition by Gladstone. I don't know if there is a newer one or not, but the formulae are basic, and should not change.
I also had an NBC Charts an Nomographs booklet that had diagrams in it which could be used to estimate effects by laying a straight edge along the nomographs and aligning it with the expected yields for tactical nukes, but I don't know where to find that now. I got my original one from the US Army at Ft. Benning. It was for use by squad leaders and up in the event a battlefield went hot with glowing craters.
There is also a manual written for Congress that I had called "The Effects of Nuclear War", but I haven't found a link to it yet as an online resource. Other stuff I had, detailing Soviet capabilities and weapons systems is surely out of date by now - all my access to it was back in the early 80's.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
