Bomb Shelters Made to keep people safe from nuclear
attacks Most efficient one made is made out of
metal Coated properly, its safe and long lasting The shielding consists of shields that
reduce gamma rays The shields reduce the gamma rays by
1000 times
Bomb Shelters Usually dug into hill sides or underground
for the best cover from a nuclear disaster After explosion people usually stayed in
for 4-5 days Some stayed for 30 days just to be safe They were not always underground
Storage Need water allow a gallon to each person
a day Rotate water supply every six months Potassium iodide and potassium iodate Explosions cause radioactive iodine these
pills protect thyroids and cancer causing iodine
Storage Food such as canned foods Dry cereals Beans Flour Rice
Storage Basic needs such as battery powered
radio Light sticks to see Gallon Buckets for water Portable toilets for waste removal Plastic trash bags for garbage
Precautions Taught students in schools the duck and
cover It’s a video that taught kids about what to
do if a nuclear disaster where about to happen
Towns made fallout shelters for the people
Families made private shelters for personal use
Towns put sirens to alert the people
Effects of a Nuclear Bomb A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive
force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion.
Creates a severe environment Creates thermal pulse
Can initiate fires in dry, flammable materials. Lights most stuff on fire Neutrons
Are in the atom bombs to make the charge happen X and gamma rays
Are very bad for people they cause burns on people and are very bad for the skin
Radiation Bad in the long wrong can cause deformities
Causes electromagnetic pulse which shuts down electronics Also ionization of the upper atmosphere If you are within two miles of the blast you don’t have a good chance Most radiation loses its power over a very short period of time
Types of Tests Atmospheric testing designates
explosions which take place in or above the atmosphere
Underwater testing results from nuclear devices being detonated underwater
Underground testing refers to nuclear tests which are conducted under the surface of the earth, at varying depths
Then there is normal test just as you would set of a normal bomb
