The couple in the movie is loving and playful. However, the husband does panic at one point, and he calls his wife a bitch.

When the couple venture outside a couple of days after the attack, they hear a dog barking and howling in a distressed manner.

I would say being in a nuclear explosion would be considered being burned alive, though we don’t really see any people being exploded.

A character bleeds gums, but teeth themselves aren't damaged.

[SPOILER] though it does not happen on screen, it is heavily implied that both main characters are inevitability going to succumb to radiation sickness when they crawl into potato sacks

[SPOILER] Jim and Hilda discuss their son at multiple points in the film, thusly their deaths at the end constitute parental death, even though you do not see the son’s reaction (as it is implied he died in the nuclear blast)

The two main characters spend much of the movie in a very small makeshift nuclear shelter.

There's also some kind of animal corpse during the part where Hilda reckons she can smell "roast beef" which might be a dog or a cat.
