The reason a radiation poisoning is so devastating is because it causes fatal genetic damage. Provided the genes for regeneration are intact, a ghoul might be able to survive. However, odds are that the damage is so broad that those genes would be screwed along with practically everything else, so, odds are not even the ghouls with the best regeneration abilities could survive a nuclear war without hiding in a radiation shelter.
