I might even do a sidebar on how to pronounce it correctly because pronunciation is 98% of content.

Crawl into a lead lined refrigerator.

It's your only chance of surviving.

I hate to be pedantic about the pronunciation, but my grandfather flew B-47 bombers loaded with nuclear bombs and drilled it into my head how to pronounce it correctly at a young age so it is one of my pet peeves...

Why would you want to survive?

Lets hope we survive it by not experiencing it.

I am going to nuke you because I do not like the economic system you use--the Cold War

I am going to nuke you because I do not like your God-the new Crusade

I am going to nuke you because you have more shit than I do--NK

The world needs to grow the fuck up

Kaboom wooh

Say New -- New.
Say Clear -- Clear.
Now say New Clear -- New Clear.
say it again,
and again,
and again.....

Ask the Hiroshima or Nagasaki survivors.
After Global Thermonuclear War there will be
billions of survivors who will go on to live
slightly radioactive, but otherwise normal lives.

This link was open in my browser, I probably got it from a thread here [link to www.nytimes.com]

"The government has a surprising new message: Do not flee. Get inside any stable building and don’t come out till officials say it’s safe. The advice is based on recent scientific analyses showing that a nuclear attack is much more survivable if you immediately shield yourself from the lethal radiation that follows a blast, a simple tactic seen as saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Even staying in a car, the studies show, would reduce casualties by more than 50 percent; hunkering down in a basement would be better by far. "

That is horse crap advice depending on the situation. If you can completely avoid the radiation it is better than staying put and reducing the radiation. Depending on the type of blast (surface or air) staying home in you basement may be the thing that seals your fate. In the next video I will show you how to "better" shield yourself from the radiation.

Well, if it's an air burst, little or no radioactive fallout will be generated, and you should be safe in the basement of an average house - provided that the house is located at least five to six miles away from ground zero so that blast effects are minimized (the total destruction radius for a nuclear yield of 1 megaton is about 3.5 miles).

If a ground burst occurs, you need to be in a purpose-built shelter or a deep basement with a protection factor (PF) of 40 or better. With ground bursts, blast is still a concern, but immediate fallout is the greater hazard.

PF simply reflects the shielding needed to reduce the radiation dose to a survivable level. For instance, a PF of 100 will reduce the radiation dose to one one-hundredth the amount an unprotected person in the open would receive. If PF is 40, then it's one-fortieth the dose. Deep basements usually offer at least PF40. By comparison, an ordinary wood-frame house will provide only a PF of 2, or one-half the prevailing dose rate.

The reason why protection factor is so important is that within one half-hour of the detonation of a one megaton nuclear weapon, the typical radiation dose is 1500-3000 rads per hour in a radius approximately one to two miles of ground zero. 450 ~ 500 rads is a fatal dose.

If you have access to a shelter offering a PF of 100, the effective radiation dose is anywhere from 15 to 30 rads per hour. The radiation dose decays with time.

That is, for every seven hours that elapses after detonation, the dose rate decays by a factor of 10.

However, this doesn't mean it's safe to go outside seven hours after a bomb has exploded because radioactive fallout continues to drift in from other nearby target zones, and because of hot spots where fallout is concentrated. Three to four days after detonation, it is probably safe to leave your shelter for as long as five to ten minutes.
