Not really a scene but the credits songs ends with a morse code message that says "MAD" repeatedly (As in Mutually Assured Destruction)

There's a scene where the wife screams over a rat in her toilet, it can catch you off guard. The bomb scene isn't handled in a jumpscary way, however

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

No, but the main characters are constantly lying to themselves, either out of genuine ignorance or as a way of coping

A pigeon is shown dying, as well as several sheep during the nuclear blast. None of this is especially graphic

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

There wasn't a section for this but there's a part where the wife finds a rat in the toilet (shown explicitly) and this can be triggering for some people the same way spiders and snakes are. The scene is a bit distressing anyway because it starts with her screaming

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

The main couple gets into potato bags before dying and that was considered as protocol for keeping bodies after a nuclear attack, but they don't know, and die shortly after getting in.

The movie shows the main characters slowly dying of radiation poisoning. A generally ill appearance and blue spots is as bad as the graphic depiction gets, and the characters, while suffering, still naively think they'll be okay, so all the symptoms are downplayed

[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)

I don't know if you can consider it PTSD but one character who lived through the blitz in ww2 gets unusually verbally violent when hearing the siren of a nuclear attack. He's really sweet during all the movie but gets completely out of character and agressive out of wanting to protect his wife. He then comes back to normal

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.
