The desk was supposed to protect from falling debris caused by the damage to structure from nuclear blast. Check out references to Civil Defense protocols. Those were interesting times. Take care.

A very true picture of a Nuclear detonation. I am a nuclear veteran from the late1950's and your description of a nuclear burst brings back memories of the intensity of the light, I had my hands covering my eyes and could see the bones in my hands for a few seconds and then feel heat on my back from the initial burst, we were told it was safe to stand up and look at the detonation which by then was a giant cauldron of water and earth creating a column stretching skywards. A visible black line rushed towards us and lifted us of our feet, that was the sound of the detonation. Something that I will remember forever.

I joined the British Army during the cold war and was stationed in Germany as a combat engineer. We trained relentlessly to possibly fight a war in an NBC ( Nuclear,Biological and chemical ) environment, doing extended exercises and living and sleeping in NBC suits and respirators. The drills you have to go through to decontaminate yourself for urinating/defecating and the procedures just to drink water and eat and is a very taxing, even in training. Main points we learnt. The war would basically be survival and to continue fighting is unrealistic for most If you are a casualty in such an environment, you are pretty much dead....the treatment and evacuation of a casualty is hard to basically impossible If it was not for the fact that we would be fighting to protect our families, the consensus was that the best place to be would be directly under the mushroom cloud and get it over with Survival for the vast majority of people, military and civilian would not be possible. Once every infrastructure collapsed, people would die from lack of clean water/food/sanitation/medications/minor and major wounds/elderly without care/bandrity, let alone long term medical issues.....its not a good outcome it puts things into perspective when you have the personal dosimeters explained.....every soldier is issued a unique wristwatch type dosimeter, returned after every exposure to be read for radiation accumulation back at central medical HQ. The result is kept secret from the soldier.....but if the soldier has received fatal doses of radiation, they will be sent out repeatably until they die instead of another soldier who has received possibly a lighter dose and will be returned to the rear to hopefully live.

And then here we have folks thinking it's all a hoax.

The one main thing is if it ever came to 60% of the population within let's say 1 year, 50% of any remaining would be wishing they had perished. So long as there is one idiot in this world with a finger on that button, the world will never be a place to feel safe. We are way too primitive, take away all nuclear capabilities and we still have conventional. We won't be happy at any time so long as someone wants what someone else has or visa versa. Our primitive state may never evolve, get used to it. Plain and simply, we may never become intelligent in the next thousand years to escape our demise as a species.

I mean in reality you would hope and pray that your government and your new stations would actually warn you way in advance like I don't know maybe a few months but in this world you know they won't. All we can do is pray, prep, prepare, repeat. Just keep your eyes and ears open and if you feel deep in your gut that something's going to go down then it's time to move or take action or do what you're going to do plan a b or c before it does come.

This issue is virtually ignored today. I'm the same age as the author in this piece, and when we were in high school it was the height of the Cold War. It was terrifying. We lived knowing at any moment we could be incinerated. The U.S. and Soviet Union were mortal enemies and had been for 40 years. Then in 1991 it was suddenly over. The U.S.S.R. was dissolved and Russia was not our enemy. The chances of a nuclear holocaust were reduced to practically nil. It was glorious. However, all those too young at the time and all those born later lived in a world where no one talked about nuclear weapons. Two generations lived without the threat, without any knowledge of what these weapons arsenals could do. Now we are suddenly thrust back into a time of nuclear peril, but 1/2 the world's population is massively under informed or knows nothing of this renewed threat to humanity and the bulk of life on our little world.

[@malcfrost2895]

Annie Jacobsen mentioned the 1984 movie The Day After. There was also a British made movie called Threads released the same year which is far grittier and more realistic and involves a nuclear attack on the UK - specifically from the perspective of bombs falling on the city of Sheffield. The movie was done as a kind of part drama and part documentary and is enough to put anyone off the idea that nuclear war can be won or have any benefits to those who "push the button". Not a nice movie to watch but a "must watch".

Miles from primary targets military, strategic, and key points of communication. When we watched The Day After on TV, I asked my dad how safe are we here?

I think NZ and Australia are good candidates because of their isolation. Imagine the migration of sick and injured people from the USA and Central America all headed south - it could overrun the southern countries and the infrastructure could collapse. Nobody could get to New Zealand in big numbers after a war - it's too remote for 99% boats and the agriculture could easily feed the people still there. New Zealand has no neighbours and is in the middle of nowhere...

[@marytica123]

YES - my bet is on Uruguay, which is basically a neutral nation. It is mainly agricultural and ranching, so food is abundant. It borders the large Rio de La Plata river, supplying fresh water and fish. Prevailing winds and jet streams will keep most of the heavy radiation in the Northern Hemisphere, which will be a "dead zone" for 100 years.
