My understanding is that an upcoming episode will deal with the
immediate fallout (no pun intended) of the events at Kirby Plaza.  I
expect we'll see something at that point.  However, I think the bright
light in the sky could probably be dismissed by the media as a meteor
exploding in the atmosphere, rather than a nuclear explosion.  All you
need is a few Company Men to discredit any scientists who mention
radiation, and you could sell it.
