[@b.thomas8926]

I've pieced this stuff from multiple sources across the net. Here's what I've found out: Fallout is made up of A, B and G types of radiation. Your dosimeter can not tell you what type, it can only respond to radiation. Also, there are all kinds of types of substances that can emit radiation that can be blasted in the atmosphere. The half life of each substance is different (or how long it emits dangerous levels of radiation.) Substances that emit A-types of radiation could last decades, even centuries. However, A-type only hurts you if you ingest or inhale it. It's not strong enough to pernitrate your skin. A-type is why you see everyone wearing gas masks and hazmat suits. B-types can penetrate you body and its why you put as much dense stuff between you and it, such as lead or concrete. Again, radiation emitted by B's can also last decades or centuries. G-type can not be stopped. They pass through everything. The only way you can survive it is to get away from it. It is HOPEFULL you do not have some of the hard stuff on top of your shelter. If you do, your shelter is no longer viable. You'll need to evacuate depending on what it is. If your underground, and the meter goes off immediately, then you got some G on top of you. Depending on the rate, your screwed if you stay. If after 48 hours and you stick your probe above the lip of your shelter and it goes off, its up to you on how long you want wait to try again. More than likely you just got something that takes more time to cool off. If it were me, I'd button back up, and chill out another few weeks, then take another read. Odd's are it will drop off enough to be safe to move. That's why the old department of energy guides had recommended 6 to 8 weeks worth of supplies. That's just to stay in your shelter. You'll need more to rebuild after. So keep that in mind when it comes to supplies. In the end if its something like a dirty bomb and you got some Cobalt 60 on top of you, it doesn't really matter how long you wait. That stuff will outlast you by a long shot and the problem is you wont know unless you got very specific lab equipment which is not widely available. So take a measure and decide calmly. The trick is NOT TO PANIC. Read the meter, check the charts, make a decision, plan a course of action, then execute. If you can't get underground, then get high. Example: if you see a five story building, then get on the fourth floor. You don't want to be on the fifth floor because of fallout accumulated on the roof, but on the fourth floor, you're away from the ground that has accumulated A LOT more fallout than the roof and you'll have more protection. It should be understood to avoid windows. Get to the center of the building if possible. Nuclear winter is a theory, but it has some sound logic behind it. When these bombs go off, they blast debris into the upper atmosphere, all the way into the stratosphere. This is above all clouds. and it's proven that it can take days, weeks, even years for all of it to come back down. It's theorized that if enough debris is blasted up, then it COULD reduce the amount of sunlight we get on the ground. If phenomenon occurs, then how bad it will be or how long it will last is conjecture so planning for it is tough. Best to store lots of water and food. Greenhouses will be a reaaaaaly good idea. Sunlamps will increase their efficiency. Solar power will be weakened if not useless. Wind turbines will still function. Storing power will be essential. In the long term, remember that humans are the most successful when working together and pooling their resources. It will be tough to overcome fear, but its tougher to survive alone. Anyways, that's my 2 cents. I hope this helps. I could be wrong on some of this, so take it with a grain of salt. The data I pulled is from various sources, including a nuclear energy professor, data from the energy department, and a patchwork of videos and other assorted whatnot around the web.

[@mcnuggatron2129]

Lot of information in there, but I did notice a few misconceptions that I'd like to clear up: 1) gamma radiation definitely can be stopped. It's the most difficult to stop as well as the most dangerous to most living organisms, but 3 feet of dirt reduces levels of gamma radiation from 1,000 cgy/h all the way down to 0.5 cgw/h. 2) a Geiger counter actually can tell you what kind of radiation it's reading. Alpha can be blocked with paper, and beta with aliminium, meaning you can rule out both beta and alpha, telling you how much of your reading is coming from gamma. Many geiger counters actually have an integrated beta shield, or you can use a few sheets of aliminium foil. 3) The half life of radioactive materials does not tell you have long it is dangerous, it simply tells you how long it will take for its intensity to halve. I've seen it explained as though it's a bottle of whiskey that someone keeps drinking half of repeatedly, it will never quite be zero (not actually quite that simple) but will keep *halving* repeatedly. 4) beta radiation cannot penetrate your body, it's actually stopped in your skin. 5) Alpha isn't any worse to breath in than are beta and gamma, so the gas masks are equally as necessary for all 3 types. (Edit: Obviously you can't actually breath in radiation, I meant alpha emitting isotopes/elements are no worse than beta and gamma emitting elements and isotopes.) 6) the type of radiation emitted does not, as far as I'm aware, correlate with the half life of the material emitting that radiation. One thing I wanted to add also is the inverse square law. The internet can explain it better than me, so here's a copy of Wikipedia: Specifically, an inverse square law says that intensity equals the inverse of the square of the distance from the source. For example, the radiation exposure from a point source (with no shielding) gets smaller the farther away it is. If the source is 2x as far away, it's 1/4 as much exposure. To further simplify that in case someone isn't well versed in math, basically, intensity of radiation from its source fall of exponentially the further away from it you are. It doesn't actually take much space at all to decrease intensity of even the most nasty elements to a safe level, the problem is just that fallout could land near you in the case of a nuclear detonation. One more thing (don't think I mentioned this yet and too lazy to check) is that the shorter the half life of an element is, generally, the more intense its radiation is. Uranium 235? You could vibe next to a big hunk of that for however much time you please and you would likely never encounter an issue because it's half life is 700 million years. But xenon 135? It's half life is 9.2 hours. Unless there's some factor I'm unaware of, xenon 135, based on its half life, is NASTY stuff. If you can survive all of that, the real annoyance is things like cesium 137 with a half life of 30 years. Just long enough to take forever to degrade, just short enough to screw you up

For Those still wondering.. The low rang meter is for low levels of radiation meaning the meter top out fast and doesn't go high enough to tell you how much immediately lethal radiation is out there. That why you move to a high range meter. But the high range meter isn't sensitive enough to detect little bits of radiation its only for high doses so them you'd move to the low range.

[@thomasmaughan4798]

It is a bit more complicated. When a geiger counter saturates, it reports ZERO. But there's ALWAYS some radiation, so if it reports zero, it is either dead, turned off, or really "hot".

This guy is giving good information. You need to stay in your bunker until the blast wave passes by, anywhere from 1 second to 2 minutes after detonation. If there is nearby fallout, you want to stay out of it for a couple weeks but you could walk through it after a couple days. Stay away from the detonation site for up to a year is best.

I think an important thing to remember when talking about radiation and contamination is how to remember the difference. In Nuke School they taught use this simple analogy. Dog Shit is contamination, and the smell is radiation. If you have the mess on you (contamination) you will receive more radiation and track it. But the smell (radiation) gets less the farther you are from it. This is where the detectors come in handy since you can't smell radiation, you need to know if you have it, especially before entering your bunker.

[@johnd4408]

I worked in nuclear power plants and you have to be very careful when dealing with radiation above the normal background radiation. I will say this. If there is ever a nuclear attack, A LOT of people will die from it solely from ignorance. None of your bodily senses can detect even high levels of radiation and by the time they start getting the symptoms...it is too late. It is the one thing not to play around with or be ignotant of. Learn all you can about nuclear radiation, the symptoms and what to do if you get a dose. Be careful and be safe.

Great video! In the event of a nuclear attack, it's very important to have a portable AM/FM radio to keep up-to-date on any information about possible additional nuclear weapon detonations. Many septic tank companies build concrete storm shelters. I've checked the price of a concrete storm shelter ($1,200.00). Make sure you have at least eight inches of concrete in the walls and ceiling. I would add some solid blocks of concrete on the top and the walls of the storm shelter to reach that eight inch thickness of concrete. I would keep some sand bags available to block the door of the storm shelter. I would build a concrete hallway in front of the entrance door so fallout would have less chance of entering the shelter.

[@alexanderblohme5044]

Too bad, Norway shut down its FM transmitter....

[@skycloud4802]

@@alexanderblohme5044 I was thinking about this with a lot of countries. The televisions have gone completely digital in the UK, and digital radio is probably the most widely used now. I imagine it likely won't be long until the analogue transmitters for radio will be turned off there too. Then again, providing satellite Wi-Fi (such as Starlink) isn't taken out pre-emptively, I suppose that might be an alternative. I have a feeling the United kingdom government sense this coming change, as they are setting up Emergency Alerts as a new service from the UK government. It’s expected to launch in autumn 2022. Emergency alerts will warn citizens if there’s a danger to life nearby. So in an emergency, phones or tablets will receive an alert with advice about how to stay safe. I would wonder if that might be why the UK is dabbling in satellites right now?

[@gammondog]

The Nagasaki bomb run was a failure because it missed the target and detonated in a valley thus attenuating the blast wave. However the advise about duck and cover still applies regardless of what causes the explosion. A good example is the asteroid explosion over Chelobinsk Russia. A school teacher remembered their duck and cover drills and evacuated the class into the hallway saving them from the shards of glass blown across the class room five minutes later.

Now what I would recommend for 2019 is the Canberra ADM-300 Survey meter. Those meters provide a wide dynamic range equivalent to both the low and high range CDV meters and would measure up to 10000R/hr In addition they offer continuous built in self test so if anything happens to the meter during operation it will alert to failure so you dont end up getting a false reading.

@Bill Randall nope, I can tell you that they have several backups for aiming and they are EMP protected like crazy. Quite a bit of things are mechanical and not electrical or electronic. They are designed way better than almost everyone can even think of. Not saying more than that. As far as Russias? Who knows!

[@AldoSchmedack]

You could build a shelter in a back corner and live easily if it is 5mi or greater. I am 7 miles from a semi major city in the 100,000 to 1mil population and I am not worried. Remember two weeks inside and that radiation is a tiny fraction of what it is. Even two days will help a lot. Time and distance are great allies. If you could wait two weeks and find a better place you'd be OK if you made only a short trip. Better bet would be to get out of your city NOW. That is what I wished I could do.

[@kolobkolobkolobkolob]

All super interesting. Have a friend who wants me help him build a 8' by 8' cement block shelter in his basement but can't figure out how and what do do for the ceiling as to have ceiling of the darn thing support the 12" blocks that go on top (bricks are also filled up prior to placement with cement or guess you could use sand maybe. Was thinking maybe run those 4 by 4 fence post across for ceiling beams every 2 feet maybe to 4 by 4 going up for support along walls etc?

[@mensurcehic413]

God bless you Ron. It’s people like you that save many lives well in advance. Thank you for this video - and many of your shelter videos. I can’t wait for you guys to start installing underground shelters here in Australia. When will you guys start your work in Australia??

[@AtlasSurvivalShelters]

Soon 😀

[@Timotheus157]

Good info. Thanks.

[@NickFrom1228]

I've been familiar with the ki4u guys for a long time. Their web site is really dated but the info isn't. They know radiation. Granted they need to hire someone to redo their website but radiation detection/protection is all they do. Good people.

[@andreaberetta9656]

Do you have any idea if they actually did ? Because their website doesn’t seam to work anymore

[@SalemikTUBE]

I'm absolutely stunned at how little this guy knows about the radiation his business claims to avoid. The guy being interviewed is being very clear.

[@jameshoiby]

If I were to buy a shelter from the guy, I'd be double checking his bill of materials and work every step of the way!!!!

[@liletorit963]

Thank you so much Ron 💙🙏💙🇵🇭 I really love watching all your videos 🥰

[@mountaingirl6323]

Great info!

[@betweentwomillennium5057]

Stopped by there probably 15 years ago when I was working in the area and they showed me around. Had them calibrate one of my high level meters for me. This place really exists.

[@videosuperhighway7655]

Yup Shane is a real sharp guy, I am surprised he is not buying up ADM-300s for resale as well. Tons coming out on the surplus market.

[@fredmaxwell9619]

What type of radiation do they measure? You can respond differently to the type of radiation. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Neutron particles are different. Simple clothing & face mask will protect you against alpha and beta but you do not want to ingest them (they are big slow particles and will cause a lot of damage). Gamma and Neutron (the most energetic) the best shielding for them is time and distance. The saying goes if you bake them all into a cookie, hold the alpha cookie in your hand, put the beta cookie in your pocket, eat the gamma cookie (gamma particles are small & fast so will pass through you causing minor damage), and throw away the neutron cookie, they fast decaying and hide behind concert barrier far away.

[@thomasmaughan4798]

"gamma particles are small & fast" Gamma is not a particle. It is a photon; a unit of electromagnetic energy. Gamma is extremely dangerous.

[@walterhunter4011]

Thank you for the great important video!

[@fiable262626]

you’ll need to get more from this guy

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

Typical detonation altitude for a 300 KT warhead is 12-13k ft. to produce the maximum blast wave on the target.

[@JC_Productions]

Is it me or the guy explaining the gigameters sounds like the Vault-Tec Rep

[@dr.dimitri3139]

You are eligible for a place in your local vault! Sign here : Lmao

[@JC_Productions]

I know right?

[@tubularfrog]

Mr. Conner's explanation of the radioactive decay of fallout (the 7/10 rule) is one of the most succinct I've heard in some time. Hollywood movies like "On The Beach" have fallout persisting forever, which is fine for a doomsday movie, but is thankfully not reality. People should be prepared to spend 2 weeks in their shelter. This means at a bare minimum of filtered air, water, food, and provision for human waste (poop and pee). Then there's amenities like light, heat, and something to do to while away 2 weeks time.

[@Soyquiensoy888]

Thank you for a great information 🙏🇺🇸

[@SteverRob]

Question for Shane if he reads this: if your sources are capable of 700R, you're almost @ 3/4 FS, on the 717 X100 range or do I have that wrong? How, since your UUT seems to be in a fixed position, are you periodically moving the cs137 source closer instead as the source reaches its half life? Are the calibrators capable of attenuation for each range, 0.1 and .025? Enjoyed the video.

[@ryanclay959]

Thank you for this very good and educational video! You did a Awesome job on the educational radiation information about the risks, time, what to do, and what not to do. I do not have any property at this time but it is my goal to buy my own house and property and I plan on putting a underground bunker under my house and I have not received any education on radiation information so it was my belief that I would have to stay in my bunker for months if a nuclear weapon was to go off but now I know that it is only 2 days in the bunker and to have the long range tester for finding out if it is safe to be able to come out of the bunker and into a area?

I never knew that. Awesome video.

[@KurtOnoIR]

This guy has some cool stuff and his prices are way less than I thought they'd be. I'm going to get one of each 😀

[@KurtOnoIR]

@Christie Malry ha! I never thought of checking eBay lol

[@UncleFjester]

I saw the title and had to come over to light a flame Questionshould be how long CAN you stay in the bunker?

[@RickyD1968]

Awesome Video !!!!

[@redfaux74]

A lot of good information here.

[@howardman3926]

It's not so much about whether or not it will immediately affect you. Think about the situation after a nuclear war....civilization would have collapsed and most people on Earth would be dead. The entire reason for Fallout shelters is for long term survival of your family or the human race. Even if the radiation is 0.001%, it could still lead to genetic problems for your kids and immediate physical problems in general. You will need a way to safely produce food. You can't do that safely in soil even years after a Nuclear war. Just because you survive the initial blast, doesn't mean you'll actually survive the aftermath. Hell, the Earth won't even have healed to a recognizable state by the time you die. Think of how long it will take for the soil to become safe again. Likely decades, if not over 100 years to be fully safe again.

[@jetegtmeier71]

thought this would be a good video but you won't shut up long enough for him to give a complete answer

[@DinoNucci]

Yeah that dude is a waste

[@machinegun3133]

fantastic video!

[@davidny4638]

That was fantastic thank you

[@americaone749]

Question: that guy calibrating the g counters, why didn't he have protective gear sitting so close to the radiation generator, are leaks completely impossible? It was very odd that he wouldn't let you show too much of that room, was there a sign outside the room warning of radiation?

[@elizabethwest9729]

Lmao. I think they know about the dangers

[@stevenbeasley24]

Time, distance, and shielding! Most likely the biggest threat after a detonation (regarding radiation) will be all the small particles on the ground and in water. Don't ingest or inhale the dust or particles which all probably be have some Alpha/Beta contamination. Those particles will start damaging you internally if you do ingest them. But definitely good advice to stay shielded and protected for a minimum of 48 hrs. Utilize your comms to hear notification of what's going on outside and be patient.

[@MrWolfe-pf8pm]

Very true, being in certain groups in the military, I have learned a ridiculously large amount of knowledge for all this. With all honestly the amount I would stay in would be 4 weeks - 4 months. (4 months if I had a partner because the sanity thing does exist and it sucks) if I was alone I would say 2-4 months as long as I had many ways of entertaining myself

[@MrWolfe-pf8pm]

But just incase (and for all the long term beta rad) I have my own food supply for 5 years (already checked and swapped) aswell as a water reclaiming system, and extra water supplies.

[@blainehouser4354]

Great Video!

[@alphastarcar]

Great video, I've been a customer for years.

[@CharlesLScofieldJr]

I would say the amount of time would depend on the yield of the weapon used if it was an air burst vs a ground burst and how far you were from ground zero (GZ). The wind direction from the time of detonation to your location. The downwind hazard from GZ can vary and change with time. For every hour after the burst, the contamination deteriorates. Doing these sort of calculations was part of my Army MOS for 12 years. There is a lot more to calculating all of this than what I have stated. But basically what I stated hits the high points. Bottom line is if you have a bunker I would be investing in various radiation detection devices. Because radiation once it is present it never really reaches zero. If your meter reads .000000000001 that means there is still radiation present. Not much but it is still there.

[@senoJSR]

well, there is background radiation present all day every day

[@juliacoombs5441]

Further to my other comments, if there was a major event (& if I had to), the first place I would hit would be the Company's man office, to see if I could obtain their client list. Thoughts?

[@aaronj08ar]

Good luck.
