[Judge Dredd] Why was Mega City 1 spared in the Atomic Wars?

Mega City 1 appears to be built over some pretty massive population centers like New York, Washington DC, New Jersey, etc. How were these places still intact enough to glom together to create Mega City 1, while places like the Mid-West were nuked to a radiation filled hellscape? Wouldn't this area especially be a primary target in a nuclear war?

A combination of technical difficulties with incoming missiles and point defenses could have allowed for enough intact infrastructure to exist.  The better question is, how the hell do you feed and power that place when the entire rest of the country is a radioactive waste?
