Fallout 5 confirmed

[@vegasheat71]

My father died from working in the uranium mines that extracted the ore used to make plutonium. I grew up in New Mexico and often i think how much of this uranium ore was brought into our house in the form of dust from my fathers clothes exposing our entire family to the exact same radioactive material as my father, just in a smaller dose. Yes, I have fears for my future health, especially as I watch uncles and cousin's of mine start being diagnosed with different cancers but most commonly in Grants New Mexico and surrounding small towns it's prostate cancer. I think this kind of testing in states with residents was blatantly intentional, so as they would also have test subjects for the future. I'm not happy that I may have been forced to be in a human radiation victim study especially without compensation. How long will I live, can only be answered on a daily biases. Now I live in Nevada, not knowing how much more ingestion of isotopes from nuclear fallout from the testing I will end up with. I can only hope for the least amount possible.

[@TheTinkili]

Well, the video doesn't exactly explain what radiation does to the human body... Maybe a different title would be more appropriate. :3

[@Fuzzy2u]

+Tinkili Yes he was very vague about that.

[@Naughty_Wan_Kenobi]

Acute radiation poisoning causes a multitude of symptoms including: early stage, nausia, vomiting and diarrhea. The quicker you start to feel these the more likely you are to die, e.g. if symptoms appear within an hour or two of exposure, there's about a 90% chance of death. In the later stages there is spontaneous bleeding e.g. nose, gums, mouth, rectal and internal bleeding causing the vomiting or the coughing up of blood and bloody diarreah. This happens because radiation wreaks havoc on the digestive tract and depletes the body's platelet count, which is responsible for blood clotting and the prevention of bleeding to death from a small cut. It also affects both red and white blood cell count which causes extreme fatigue and weakness along with the lowering of the immune system, leaving you vulnerable to infections. You can get second and third degree burns, depending on how far you are from the blast and how much skin you have exposed, also the radiation poisoning alone can cause skin blisters and ulcers in or on the mouth, in the stomach and intestines. Then comes the hairloss, which is permanent in some cases as radiation causes damage to the hair follicles. It works by altering and breaking down the DNA of organic matter on a cellular level. The scariest thing about all this, is that it can take several agonising weeks to finally succome to death! The silver lining is that it is survivable with the right preparations. There's tons of resources and advice out there on what you need and what you need to do, you don't need a fancy fallout shelter. Let's hope we never need it but it always good to have a plan B. If you want any more info let me know and I'll send you some links, just need to know what country you live in so I can get info pertaining to your environment. Kind regards.

[@Biosynthnut]

[@leonidaspappas3596]

[@swampfox5329]

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

Don't forget about the nuclear winter, where the dust blocks the sunlight to the point where most plants end up dying, as well as almost everything on the earth that depends on them.

[@dave6423]

Which in turn means WE ARE ALL DEAD! Good grief. Why are we even TALKING about this bullshit?

[@memadmax69]

Nuclear winter requires special environmental conditions to occur, known of which include hollywood..........

[@adisi8047]

nuclear winter is caused by MANY nuclear explosions in a War. just take a look how much nuclear warheads were active for launch in the cold war (and now) and then think again about fallout and nuclear winter(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon#/media/File:US_and_USSR_nuclear_stockpiles.svg)

[@memadmax69]

@ Adi Si: ur link is just a list nuclear weapons and is irrelevant. Perhaps you were looking for this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter This article points out that nuclear winter is just a theory that was created in the 80's... Nothing more than fear-mongering to trick you into going along with the military industrial complex. In the real world, there have never been nearly enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world, and nuclear warfare doctrine would not allow 100% deployment of nuclear weapons in the first wave on all sides anyways. The strategy has always been: EMP pulse, followed by around 50% deployment of weapons, with around 50% held in RESERVE for counter attacks against surviving military units. Hell, US cities are NOT even a priority Russian target, EUROPEAN cities are due to their proximity and ability to invade Russia after engagement. Whats even worse is the power of a nuclear weapon is heavily exaggerated as well, causing a "ghosts n goblins" complex that causes people to believe just about anything regarding a nuclear apocalypse, and this is heavily pushed by hollywood as well. Case in point: all the hollywood movies regarding nuclear war almost always show los angeles getting destroyed by a single nuclear weapon. Well, that is not the case, it actually requires several nuclear weapons, and there is a simulator for that: nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ In the end, the most dangerous weapon of all is the EMP pulse. This weapon would kill the most people on its own because people are too stupid to survive without their smartphones on facebook...

[@adisi8047]

interesting idea, will read more about it. My link: in the cold war, even with only using 50% , this means that 25000-30000 warheads would be fired in the first wave. and then comes the second wave.

[@robthehitmanrude]

Anyone remember when Vsause made videos? So very quite these days.

[@descai10]

Vsauce still makes videos, just less of them.

[@Pwnage195]

Yeah but they're like 4 times as long. I'd prefer it if Vsauce released shorter videos more constantly than longer videos periodically.

[@PaddyMacNasty]

Boo to you. The whole point of VSauce is the insane detail he goes into. He does one great video a month that he has the time to properly research and put together. More =/= better.

[@Pwnage195]

PaddyMacNasty I like the detail, but there's a point where there's just too much. It'd be nice if he found a balance between the old and new Vsauce.

[@PaddyMacNasty]

Dr. Spy Well check out VSauce 2 and 3 if you want more regular content. Or try It's Okay to be Smart, Kurzgesagt (they make a few leaps of logic sometimes so take it with a pinch of salt) or Thunk. VSauce has evolved into it's own thing which might mean that it has less mass appeal but for some of us it's perfect. Hands down my favourite channel on KZbin. There are other good channels that fit the criteria you're looking for. And if you doubt that VSauce's evolution is a good thing, click "Date added (oldest)" on their video upload page. Seriously, go do it.

[@rbrash4]

I think a diagram showing the radiation piercing a body and how it destroys organics from the inside-out would have been awesome. When people ask me how radiation hurts the body I have always scared them enough by saying "Imagine tiny bullets, traveling at the speed of light, but only the size of an atom(or photons), hitting your body all over and piercing holes all over you. Holes that destroy that part of you beyond repair or may heal. It always scares em.

[@gwensmith7439]

Cancer if it's over time, radiation poisoning if it's all at once.

[@gwensmith7439]

Done. Now you don't have to watch the video

[@syberlord7660]

Thanks I was confused but now I'm not.

[@joshr6589]

So practically death for the most part. Including mutations and birth defects.

[@BeCurieUs]

"risk of cancer" is more accurate, deterministic effects of acute radiation sickness are more certain.

[@gwensmith7439]

[@crustmuskandpixiedust]

He makes it sound like radiation is something that you can brush off in a few days like a bad hangover. It's not. It stays with you for life causing cell death and slowly weakening the body which I guess isn't a big deal because if we're gonna die why not add a few more problems to go along with the consequences of "old age"(in quotes because a lot of people make that excuse as to not take responsibility for their poor life choices which have lead to the poor conditions of their bodies.) Kind of like the poor life choices people have made to support nuclear energy because they are too lazy, uneducated, and greedy to switch over to renewables. The only good Fallout is the one you can play on your console.

[@chrisv4496]

Once, just once, I would like for DNews to talk about nuclear power and talk about something OTHER than light-water or heavy-water reactors. It's not as though they're the only way we can generate nuclear power. Please, DNews, do an episode on LFTRs and educate everyone (yourselves included).

[@ManintheArmor]

That's nice and all, but they're not a prominent presence. You'll have an easier time trying to bring up minority groups than minority technologies.

[@chrisv4496]

***** Even if said minority technologies possess the potential to completely cover all our energy needs for the next ~10,000 years? Even if said minority technology is literally, _by design_, incapable of having a meltdown? Even if the fuel for said minority technology is an element of which we currently _throw away_ thousand of tons as waste from our other rare-earth mining operations? It's ridiculous that this technology is still minority at all. Big, established money hard-at-work making sure they keep making money. Seriously, look up the design/operating specs on LFTRs (Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors); it'll blow your mind.

[@otooleniall]

+Chris V yep Thorium salt reactors have massive potential. it is such a shame the test reactor was mothballed as they didn't make anything useful for war. there are people trying to bring them to production but I doubt they will get the funding as nuclear is a dirty word.

[@XCerykX]

+Niall O'Toole there are actually a lot of plans to start building nuvlear power plants in the comming years to start phasing out fossil fuel power plants world wide because we have better ways to deal with the nuclear waste now.

[@otooleniall]

+Ceryk in fact if you look at the amount of nuclear that has been cancelled or delayed pending reviews you will be surprised. there is no money to develop the Thorium salt reactors to a commercial level and current nuclear they have almost an open ended cheque when a new reactor is being built.

There goes my dream of being a super mutant

[@courier665]

Actually super mutants were not the result of radiation but rather FEV (Ghouls too I think) which was like a super hero serum. So your chances at becoming one are unchanged. Although your chances are still small because the chances of someone surviving the dipping process and coming out with all of their brain functions working at normal levels were slim even in the Fallout universe. A lot of them just came out brain dead or horribly deformed. Or if you were the extremely lucky and you became a super mutant with psionic powers AND your brain functions. So far only 1 of them exist to my knowledge and he was a force to be reckoned with.

Didn't that happen decades ago? Also from high school, I remember learning about the half life of radioactive elements.. How does that tie into this?

[@b0utch]

Did nuclear testing worldwide cause the increase in numbers of cancer worldwide or we are just better a diagnosing cancer? Why not both?

[@gwensmith7439]

We live longer, so you have a higher chance of getting cancer.

[@Fuzzy2u]

+b0utch Yes nuclear testing worldwide caused the increase in numbers of cancer worldwide. Just search "downwinders" for the people and cancer explosion after the Nevada tests. Not hype or fear mongering but science fact.

[@XCerykX]

doubt it metters as much as increasing life spans. simple fact is that everything is radioactive and always has been. the air contains radioactive co2. plants absorb that and get eaten by animals who become radioactive. we eat both and become radioactive. there may be a bit more at times because of man, but ultimately the species has always been exposed to constant low levels of radiation.

[@gwensmith7439]

Ceryk Also THE FUCKING SUN.

[@puncheex2]

Actually, neither. Cancer is well known since ancient days (there are Egyptian mummies who died of it), and the most effective "cause" of cancer is old age. Born in 1900, your chance of getting cancer in your life was 37%. The same number, born in 2000, is 43%, and yet the average age at death is 5 years older for the latter. Second thought, scratch the "yet", the latter is the cause of the former. What is really different is the rate of cancer kills from 30% to 22%, because of improved medicine. Figures from the CRI. Oh, and the rise of the average death figure has nothing to do with cancer; it was because we conquered a host of infectious diseases in the 20th century.

Could be worse. its theroized that nearly everyone in a john wayne movie about ghengis khan died of cancer awhile later. While wayne went on for years eventually dying of cacer likly related to his smoking the rest are thought to have inhaled dust kicked up by the movies horses that contained large ammounts of cesium and towns that were downwind from the nevada test site where america detonated an absurd number of nuclear weapons have higher cancer rates. Although that gets ignored as much as possible. If you want try looking u the nevada nuclear test site on google earth or area 51 and headding west you'll find hundreds of craters if you look around for abit. New mexico isn't nearly as bad because the feds own most of nevada so the relocated alot of the testing there.which left alot of areas to the north east of it exposed. An interesting side note is supposedly area 51 had to shut down several times because of the fallout canceling a few test flights of spy planes and what not.

"If Darwin forbid .."

[@branimirantic3625]

No-one is saying that in order to have a fallout in the first place you need to have a ground blast. The dust particles need to be sucked into a fireball. If its detonated high in the atmosphere, there will be very little or non fallout at all. That is usually 800 to 1200 meters above the ground, and precisely the way you use nuclear weapons in order to get maximum damage on the target.

[@jamesshelton4530]

There should be many more videos like yours and less of the mindless gossip crap - keep going as you have an appreciative audience.

[@daniellassander]

You get a downvote for increasing the scare about radiation. In the case of iodine and thyroid cancer, we have very bad data about the prevalence of thyroid cancer prior to 1960 so any perceived increase might simply be bad data. You should instead make a study about increased radiation to the thyroid du to iodine and compare that to natural background radiation to see how much higher it is. And from that data you can extrapolate cancer risk. However in the case of iodine, the increased radiation dose is lower then 1/1000 of natural background radiation. So should increase thyroid cancer by about the same. For every 1001 individual 1 is due to fallout. Feel free to check the data yourself since im bound to be wrong on something since it was a long time ago i read up on this subject.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but can't your everyday mattress block fallout pretty well? So if you get caught in the fallout zone from a nuke, going into the lowest room of your house with as few windows and doors as possible, and then blocking said windows and doors with mattresses should block much of the fallout. Also, isn't it true that fallout can be bound to your hair if you use conditioner to wash it out?

[@coughsyrupconnoisseur]

Yeah, pretty much. Fallout is a physical tangible thing so if you go underground with no windows (or by blocking them) you'll be pretty much safe from exposure. And yeah, hair conditioner can bind fallout particles to your hair if you've been exposed to it.

my isp is throttling this video any ideas how i can correct it?

It depends in the nuke used. There are several types from dirty bombs to a nuke bomb to a neutron bomb. All will kill some to a lot instantly with the initial explosion and the after math, it can kill a few to millions. Types of Rad that kills and how it enters the body. Example. Dirty bombs are primarily Alpha rad. So long as u don't breath any in, inject it, have cuts on you or let it sit in your skin for a long period or swallow it, you won't get in inside you. If you do, chelation can remove it. It travels no more than maybe 20 ft. Iodide tabs can remove other types as in PU 239. Plutonium. Then the Beta which travels further at 200 ft. Gamma and X Ray are the worst which ionizes the cells. Only stopping with two inches or thicker lead , concrete and thick amts of water. The initial gamma will burn you up going through you and X Ray will cause your cells to deform unable to carry blood and oxygen. The cells multiplying as deformed as well. Just a 101 crash course in it. Chelation like zinc and Calcium given over 24 hours for a can help remove the rad as well. All the metals from the body. Depending on the length of exposure since exposed will depend on which is used ...Potassium iodide tabs is used specifically to one type of rad to remove the metals from the thyroid ...There are treatments for it and the burns. Depends how close u are to the blast as well being desinergrated to just burns. X Ray and gamma esp can travel for miles and miles and miles ...No one way to treat all. Alpha can be cleaned up vs gamma can't and half life is thousands of years .... No. This isn't in detail. Just an idea of the types and what can be done to help yourself in the situations ...tyvec is good with alpha. Can't go near gamma and X Ray if one shot out and gone unless still emitting. Uranium. Plutonium. Type of plutonium like pu239 will depend on severity , exposure time , treatments and what's needed for PPE and protection from. Distance shielding and time exposed are the three u worry about depending on the type of bomb used. You can receive so many Millirad/ milliREM a year . You get some from the sun and planet already every year. Add say x Ray's at a hospital and cancer risks go up or a CT. A lot more rad for a medical test. Why they won't CT you again if having one within 6months. Hope this helps. The potasaium iodide tabs are called potassium Iodide. Not bad to have in your med kits along with zinc and calcium , iv bag and directions to use them. Zinc is used after first 24 of exposure. Calcium within first hour or two then zinc ...Grabs the metals and depletes your body of them ...It's in a liquid injectable form and treatment goes for the days Chelation. Can't be used on pediatrics unfortunately. Potassium Iodide again is used for a specific exposure to a certain type to deplete it from the thyroid

You turn into a Ghoul after Fallout and to stop that from happening you need Rad-X and Rad Away. Plus having a high level in Endurance helps a lot too.

Hello my name is Donald I was born in Glendale Az. in 1960 then in 1981 I join the USN and went to the Marshall Islands were we cleaned up after the nuclear testing the US did there. Now I have a spinal disorder and other med. problems but the Navy has said it has nothing to do with my time in the Navy nor the fact that I was born shortly after the last test done in the US.

Wanna know what else is radioactive? My farts

[@ShawnRavenfire]

I remember seeing the fallout shelter signs around my school as a kid. (It was the 80s. We were all waiting for the bomb to drop.)

[@nickdegroot2445]

Can you make a video about Thorium energy?

[@KarisMajik]

Is that CGI footage from a game at 0:38, and if so, which game is it?

[@marcpage5970]

THIS IS GENERIC INFORMATION THAT CAN BE LEARNED IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

[@thecodgamer57]

I'm disappointed you didn't make any fallout pub

[@GreatPirateSolomon42]

Crawl out through the fallout baby, to my loving arms, through the rain of strontium ninetyyyyy.

[@palebluedot285]

Did he said "if darwin forbid" What a world we live in

[@JuanLopez-it2cf]

That's why they do it in tunnels and don't pop out dome as its like underground homes for safety

[@MrPrinceYoda]

At 2:57 you begin to give a "7 -10" rule. My education has not exposed me to this rule. Are you claiming this applies in any way to the current situation at Fukushima? We and the Japanese people and the World have had our 343 hours. Please explain.
