It was a terrible thing to do but in the context of ending the war and preventing an ACTUAL nuclear confrontation with the USSR (through fear) it was justified. I could argue plenty more but I'd rather leave it at that.
Cool idea, actually, pretty well all the radiation has dissipated and all that remains is people who've been genetically mutated/cancerfied, none of which is a result of actually living there. On the plus side it'd be cheaper. FAR safer than Chernobyl or any other nuclear site.
Hope it works out for you.
