That wasn't just about a nuclear war, but about a doomsday device,
a "salted" bomb.
It's been pointed out that there's no limit to how large a nuclear
bomb can be made. If it's extremely large, it won't be deliverable.
But it wouldn't need to be, as it could work its magic if detonated
anywhere on Earth.
However, mixing of air north and south of the equator tends to be
slow.

"The circulation pattern quarantines the Northern and Southern
Hemispheres, keeping the pollutant-laden northern air dirty and the
southern air clean. / There is some exchange between the two, but the
process takes a year or two, versus about a week for air to circulate
within a hemisphere" -

The premiss of "On the Beach" was that it would take several years for
the fallout to reach Australia -- enough time for a submarine to go on
an exploratory voyage to see if there were any survivors in the
northern hemisphere.
Another similar dystopian novel, on the other hand -- Down to a
Sunless Sea -- suggested that a refugee plane that headed to
Antarctica was overtaken by radioactive fallout soon after arriving
there.
Though the book was published more than 45 years ago, the scenario
seems more likely than ever in current circumstances:
