May I just point that such a zombie Apocalypse might well have been caused by a nuclear incident so there could be a considerable risk of erradiated zombies already. Even if that were not the case zombies are not neither alive (at least not accordingly to most of the standard criterion for living things), merely being hosts for the zombie virus, nor intelligent enough to recognize nor fear a nuclear powered individual. While there is a chance nuclear energy could cleanse an infected person or persons of the zombie virus (akin to how cancer victims past and present undergo chemo and radiation treatments) if not you'd have an irradiated zombie wondering around and the attendant dangers thereof. Plus one should consider the possibility of Firestorm becoming infected by the zombie virus himself (although whether both halfs of Firestorm would need to be infected for Firestorm himself to become zombified is, at present, unclear). If that should come to pass successfully that would mean the virus had developed a tolerance for radiation (although quite how radiological output Firestorm can manifest is something that is quite inconsistently depicted). If Firestorm were to become zombified successfully there is also the risk him infecting others with his own radiologically tolerant strain of the zombie virus, making survival of the zombie  Apocalypse all the more unlikely.
