But at the same time, it will quickly become less dangerous as it exhausts itself (radioactive decay). The blast and fire protection require very strong and usually underground structures, but even simple earthen shelters built in the backyard can give enough protection from a 1 MT (1000 kilotons) surface blast as close as 2 miles. Radioactive fallout is extremely dangerous because it’ll give you radioactive injuries which are difficult to heal. For all other areas, more than 95% of the country, protection from fallout should be the only concern. Simple measures taken immediately after a nuclear detonation can prevent agonizing death and injuries from radiation.įor ground zero, where the bomb was actually dropped, protection from the blast, fire, and fallout would be required. Well over 90% of those potential casualties from fallout are avoidable too. That too only if you are super fast and find/make or rush to a shelter. However, if you are in the adjacent area, you might have a survival chance. If by luck you are in epicenter (ground zero) and already not in a nuclear shelter/bunker, you are most likely to die in the first minute either by blast or by high-intensity radiations. Why You Need a Shelter in Case of a Nuclear Blast?Įvery nuclear blast (either nuclear attack by other countries or a nuclear disaster in your own) will consist of a ground zero and its adjacent area. Well over 90% of those potential casualties from fallout are avoidable simply by educating the masses.
