@E Van "Threads" is one of my 'favorite' movies (using the term very broadly, of course). Its depiction of the consequences of a nuclear war is haunting in its realism, and I would strongly support the production of an updated version, although preferably on a channel like HBO, where the consequences of such a conflict could be shown in more detail. I do, however, have to ask why you would link a Wikipedia article on corruption in a country currently being torn apart by a murderous narcissist whose entire MO relies on threatening nuclear Armaggedon to preserve his "right" to launch rockets into apartment buildings.

During my college years I worked for an AM radio station who talked the Federal government into giving them a grand to build a fallout shelter at the transmitter. The walls were double rows of concrete blocks with a foot of concrete between them. The ventilation was from a well work window air conditioning unit with a tattered filter. The claimed that the worthless filtration didn't matter because the window unit was mounted in a hole in the wall at the end of s short corridor and the entrance to the fallout shelter was at 90 degrees to the corridor. That way they would be safe because radiation cannot go around corners. I tried to tell them that "fallout" is millions of irradiated particles and that the wind can take them anywhere but then didn't listen.

In later years I learned that fallout was related to the height that the bomb detonated . As the bombs got better detonating at higher altitudes caused farther range of destruction . This made fallout less of a problem because less debris was lifted into the atmosphere . In other words a nuclear blast at ground level would create the most fallout , but the least amount of damage . In 1959 pretty much all atomic testing was at ground level , so you were given the best knowledge that was available .

[@lajoswinkler]

Fallout remains the worst danger, given the amount of people it can kill. A 1 MT TNT atomic bomb can be detonated kilometre above populated area and still suck stuff into a mushroom cloud, contaminating the burned dirt.

[@lukestrawwalker]

Partially true. In the 40's and early 50's, the bomb yields were pretty low as they were strictly fission weapons, atomic bombs IOW, so for hardened targets they HAD to be detonated at ground level very close to the target to take it out. For cities, which are "soft targets", the detonation is much higher (like at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were detonated at about 1,500 feet or so in altitude) to maximize the range of destruction over the widest possible area. Once they invented high-yield thermonuclear hydrogen bombs, things changed a bit. The larger explosive yields meant these bombs could be detonated at 10,000-15,000 feet for maximum blast damage to soft targets, so little fallout was produced (as little fallout was produced by the atom bombing in Japan during the war). If the fireball touches the ground, there will be a lot of fallout produced. High yield hydrogen bombs detonated at ground level still produced high amounts of fallout due to dust and debris drawn into the fireball and coated with radioactive materials. BUT then they invented "staged weapons" which didn't just use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction in nuclear fuel (a classic 2-stage weapon, called a "fission/fusion" weapon. It was discovered that the high energy neutrons from a fusion reaction could fission the normally unfissionable (by slow neutrons required for a fission weapon) U-238, so a "shell" of depleted uranium (U-238) was used to construct the bomb case, which greatly increased the power of the bomb through this "third stage", creating a 3-stage device or "fission/fusion/fission" bomb. Furthermore they discovered you could add ANOTHER layer of fusion fuel around that, and make the bomb more powerful still, into a 4-stage device, or "fission/fusion/fission/fusion" weapon. 3 and 4 stage weapons produce a LOT of fallout regardless of detonation altitude due to the fission of the U-238 tamper... also called the "fission fraction" of the bomb, or what percentage of the yield was created by fission. Some 3 stage bombs have up to around 55% or more of their yield derived from fission reactions, mostly in the depleted uranium tamper, so they are extremely "dirty" bombs. Bombs where only a small percentage of the yield comes from fast fission of the tamper, down around 5% or less, are called "clean" bombs, because they will produce little fallout or radioactive residue when detonated as an airburst. Later! OL J R: )

I remember when I was a little kid in the early 90's I remember going places with my grandfather sometime i would see in peoples houses of what looked to me like a second basement underneath the 1st basement or what looked like Concrete walls in other people's basements that looked to be a divided room. I once asked what are these? He said bomb shelters. Always watching the Coyote alway trying to catch the road runner on TV so I did have an idea of what bombs were but I didn't here the Phrase nuclear bomb till about 96.

You guys should watch the nuke war movie "Threads" as it really shines some light on what things will be like during and after an attack. If you live in a large city, near a military installation or in an area with any of the following: power plant, fuel depot/refinery, manufacturing, airport, rail yard, port or shipyard or food storage/ warehouses you won't have to worry as those ground bursts have got you covered!

I worked in Portsmouth Naval Base in the 1980's and we did nuclear attack exercise drills in the tower block I worked in and we had to go to the designated muster station which just happened to be in structurally the weakest part of the building on a floor about halfway up said tower block with a large window with a view of said naval base & dockyard not that that would have made any difference of course because a direct nuclear strike on Portsmouth Dockyard would have totally annihilated everything for miles around! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@chuckkottke]

Good advice for 1959. Air filtration and control of intake air are briefly mentioned but vitally important. Providing very clean super hepa filtered air with positive pressure inside the building to force out air so no dusty air gets in seems very important, as this radioactive dust can be nanoparticles or atoms themselves and one may have prolonged exposures. In emergency, one could bubble filtered intake air through water to remove even more of the radioactive dust for positive building pressure. I suppose when the major danger has passed but it's still dry outside, one could spray everything down with a fine mist to wash off vehicles, house exteriors, etc. to reduce further exposure..☢️🚿🌞

Here's where Red Green comes in: Duct tape, vacuum cleaner, car air filter, bucket of water. First, seal up leaks in basement windows, sill plates, doors, etc. with tape. Then cut a hole in a door or window frame, end joist, etc to run the suction hose outside, and be sure to duct tape around the hose-wall connection thoroughly. Run a hose from the pressure end of the vacuum cleaner forcing air through a car air filter, then run that cleaner air with another hose into a big bucket of water, to scrub out any remaining particles. You'll probably want an inverter and car batteries to run the vacuum cleaner, and/or start the car up once in a while to charge the battery, using space suit and air lock. Be sure to seal all leaks with duct tape. Hang in there, we're all in this together, and I'm pulling for you! 🌞☢️🌞🦆 🦆 🦆🦆🦆

[@branchcovidian2001]

That's not going to be the case. Nuclear war will be more survivable than you think.

[@junkdriver42]

@@branchcovidian2001 That’s kind of the opposite of my understanding. Fallout may not be so bad if you can avoid exposure for the first week or so, but the topsoil will be ruined. Even that is pretty small potatoes; civil defense and bomb shelters make sense when you’re talking about kiloton fission weapons, but when you’re talking about an all-out nuclear exchange with thousands of modern 2-10 megaton weapons, there’s basically no point. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but a nuclear war between major powers means the end of civilization. Some people will survive, but it’ll be a rough existence. Current US nuclear stockpile 5,500. Current Russian Federation stockpile 6,500. Due to nuclear military doctrine there are often multiple warheads per target. Targets include industry in every city in the country. Even if you miss the initial explosions by living somewhere very remote living off the land will be difficult due to the radioactive after effects. People need to understand these consequences so we can make informed decisions to avoid this kind of conflict.

[@branchcovidian2001]

@@junkdriver42 The danger from fallout is highest for about two weeks. It decreases exponentially. MOST targets are designated for air burst because the air and the ground reflected shockwaves are coupled that way thus causing the most immediate damage. Fallout from an air burst is minimal. Hitting anything in D.C. or Moscow with a ground impact is a waste of a warhead, since leadership and strategic command will most likely be out of the area. Ground impacts will be almost all missile silos and launch control centers in the mid-west, almost all else will be communication infrastructure. If you live in a big city, getting hit or not will depend largely on the scenario of attack as killing population and destroying buildings isn't high on anyone's list of priorities. Industrial centers are usually fourth on the list.

[@gordontyree9858]

Normal tasks? SURVIVAL! Learn to survive in any scenario! The Bible of nuclear war survival is Kresson Kearny’s “Nuclear War Survival Skills”....get the book, read it and learn! The fact is most Americans would survive an all out nuclear exchange. People have told me, “who would want to survive after something like that”? “I hope I’m at ground zero if that happens.” Well, my response is if you are alive, that’s better than dead, and you will definitely want to survive as long as you can! So make preparedness a priority for your family and community!
