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
