Effect of nuclear fallout on glacial ice

I'm working on building a post nuclear war society in a nuclear winter where northern countries have risen to dominance through a combination of being non-primary targets in the nuclear war and having access to mining infrastructure as well as glaciers and ice caps. The idea is that these societies could utilize their mining infrastructure to mine the depth of glaciers or ice flows to get ice untouched by fallout.

And if so would this be sustainable into the future, or would total contamination of the ice be inevitable?
