Russia doesn't need to use such outdated weapons, they're already using far more advanced DEW EMF Radiation weapons causing everyone in the west to get cancer in the next few years from underground bunkers in the west, and are preparing their next bio weapon a long side some cyber attacks. Sadly the West isn't able to respond to this in any meaningful way since we have monopoly military industrial complex and we're relying on Boeing, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin vs a much superior group of people who are developing weapons that these companies can't even imagine yet.

[@spockmcoyissmart961]

Having experience working inside a nuclear plant, I will give this tip. Pick up handy wipes, which are made with polyester threads or other polyester cloth or material. Wipe yourself down with them. Polyester absorbs, energy particles. You do not wet them just wipe yourself with them. Every time I went in and out with my tools, they would wipe my tools down with dry hand wipes, then put my tools inside a particle counter, which look like a microwave if they set off the machine, they would wipe them down again. Then my tools were safe to remove.

[@kenshinhimura3003]

Thanks

[@slvr_srfr]

that’s called surface contamination. surface contamination is only present when working with tools / on equipment that has been in a radioactive flux. the surface contamination is spread from the materials to the tools when exerting force on materials that have been exposed. think of radioactive rust / dust coming off with a wipe. this will not work if you are exposed to the flux itself (the blast) TLDR; you can’t wipe away radioactivity. you’re just wiping off the radioactive dust and making the tool clean.

My city in Northern California is home to one of the major Air Bases on the West Coast. In other words, we are a level one nuclear target. Most Americans will only get about a 25 minute warning. The United States and Russia will each get hit with about 1000 warheads each. Both countries will be turned into firery hellscapes, 150 billion tons of smoke will block out the sun for 7-10 years. If one does have the misfortune of surviving, photosynthesis on earth will stop, no crops, no food. Lets not forget that in just 35 minutes most of humanity will perish, the world hit the rewind button from 2024 back to the Stone Age, no power, no lights, no cars, no modern medicine, no fresh water by turning on the tap, it will be the end of modern civilization.

[@Metalheaddoc]

A few points I would pushback on. Fallout radiation follows the 7-10 rule. If fallout peaks in 1 hour, 7 hours later, the radiation is down to 10%. After 7*7 hours or 49 hours, the radiation is down to 1%. After 7x7x7 hours or 2 weeks, it is down to 0.1%. Kris said in the video that 99% reduction takes 2 weeks. The fallout radiation is carried by small particles of debris the size of table salt or fine sand. If that is on your person or on your canned food, simply wipe it off as you would dirt. The fallout does not contaminate the food inside the can. Similarly, if your HVAC system and windows are good enough to keep dust out, then fallout won't get in either. The gamma radiation from particles outside will still get through your walls but the particles themselves won't get in and that gives you protection via distance. The three mainstays of fallout protection are time, distance and shielding. Shielding is a whole different subject, but basically the more mass you have between you and the fallout, the better. You can get a dose reduction of 99% (Protection Factor of 100) with 2 feet of concrete or 3 feet of packed earth. I believe that 29 inches of sand will also give a PF of 100. That is why underground is the best place as it has concrete and packed earth all around. The biggest source of radiation may be from above. For example, in my basement, the closest outside surface would be my front porch. Any fallout on there will radiate through whatever thickness of concrete and dirt are above the roof of my basement which is probably less than 8 inches in thickness. A good source for information is Nuclear War Survival Skills by Cresson Kearny. There are free versions available online.

[@chesslover8829]

Ten feet of air will attenuate gamma radiation. That's how far one must be from the walls of their home if no other shielding is present.

[@willbass2869]

EXCELLENT book recommendation

[@Metalheaddoc]

@@chesslover8829 According to Washington State Dept of Health Fact Sheet 320-056 it is much more. "Depending upon their initial energy, gamma rays can travel tens or hundreds of feet in air.". However, my reference doesn't list how much it is attenuated by that distance. I can't find how much air is needed to attenuate gammas by 50%.

[@chesslover8829]

@Metalheaddoc You raise a very good point. My sources say two feet of concrete, three feet of packed earth, or ten feet of air will attenuate gamma radiation from fallout. However, according to the America Nuclear Society (ANS), 13.8 feet of water, 6.6 feet of concrete, or 1.3 feet of lead is needed. Very few structures in America provide that much protection, especially a single family home, even if it has a basement. If the ANS is correct, why even bother to prep. It would be both difficult and expensive to construct a concrete fallout shelter with 6.6-foot walls and ceilings. Therefore, anyone in the fallout path will perish unless they have an elaborate fallout shelter. How depressing.

@chesslover8829 Sadly even the people with adequate shelter probably won’t make it beyond 150 days due to starvation. Or exposure to cold, the temperature on the deck will be below freezing for 18 months.

It's just too much to explain...all i can say is research what happened to the people of Japan when we nuked them....then multiply that by hundreds of thousands worse......the Earth will be ruined and there IS NO "SAFETY" after a nuclear war.

I will say this much; when it comes to missiles heading to America the focus on inaccurate foreign missiles is to ramp up their EMP effects. Other countries know how sensitive our infrastructure is & simply turning off the power effects everything.

[@fintan9705]

I used to work in a chemical plant, in the event of exposure, the safety training protocol was to wash the exposed area with cold water for at least ten minutes, cold water closes the pores and slows absorption. As part of our decontamination process following cleanups after spills or major invasive work on equipment or pipelines we would have to use the safety showers to decontaminate our PPE before doffining and disposal, these showers deluged the user with freezing cold water from a 12 inch diameter shower head covered in quarter inch holes.

Firstly I hope the likelihood of war is very low and you can enjoy your garden as it is for many years to come.

It depends on how far away you are and at those distances you couldnt even approximate it... So my best guess and go as long as you can until your resources are close to depleted... I say this because your death is going to be soon as you have no resources to begin with...

I've given this very scenario some thought for decades regarding the known science. In the past, I would have believed that there was some form of survivability for the nation. But, I no longer hold this to be true. With the current military doctrine of "Use them or loose them,"a massive attack would represent the failure of our nuclear strategy. Survivability would depend on the distance from a target and the time to shelter. Even so, there would be factors in the event that would work against you beside nuclear fallout. Firestormes from a thermal pulse would rage for weeks or months and would consume everything within a city or countryside. There would be no infrastructure to commit to what's left to help survivors. And, as history has shown in the event of a regonal catastrophe, the government is slow to respond. A nuclear strike would be a no-show. Unless you're extremely wealthy and have moved to some remote country or island, you're not going to survive a nuclear exchange.

[@bushcraft4life964]

Fantastic information everyone needs to hear ty.

[@nunyabidness7233]

Typically, an EMP is essentially an RF phenomenon. As such, line-of-sight is required for there to be a direct effect. So, a ground burst is unlikely to have direct EMP effects beyond the typical RF horizon (40-60 miles). It can still blow out transformers and cause ridiculous voltage spikes in the power grid, though. High-altitude nuclear detonations cause EMP effects over a large area because the area of line-of-sight is a function of altitude. Taking a shower is going to be problematic very quickly after a blast. With power out, water pressure drops quickly and areas closer to the blast will likely have water main breakage. As mentioned, it is unlikely that there would be a sudden, large scale nuclear attack without some sort of build-up. And, there will be actions the military and government will take with the more urgent (and large scale) the actions, the closer to a conflict we may be.
