I think that in the 1950s the US did tests where they detonated atomic bombs in Nevada and sent soldiers into the area around ground zero within half an hour or so after detonation. I don't believe they used any special type of protective gear at the time. Some men were equipped with Geiger counters and they were ordered to withdraw from areas if the radiation kept going higher than a certain level. Afterward, everyone took a shower.
