Entering a shelter allows people to survive? If this possible, the shelters should be made?
Let’s give the answers to all these questions.
Unfortunately, shelters do not guarantee life safety during a possible nuclear explosion.
The extent to which the shelter will influence, also varies compared to the quality of both the bomb and the shelter. For example, the contemporary nuclear weapons of the present are very different from those in the middle of the 20th century.
The nuclei of the nuclear bombs in the 1950s were made of Plutonium and Isotop Uranium-235 from radioactive elements. In addition, they were disintegrated by a process called fission and caused a big explosion.
But now, bombs based on hydrogen fusion are preferred for nuclear explosions. In addition, these can also be used to trigger a larger thermonuclear explosion.
If you are 1 km away from a bomb compared to Norman Kleiman from Columbia University, the shelter can help you.
However, if you are more than 1 kilometer, the pressure or heat caused by the explosion will be very dangerous for each living thing around. In addition, the shortage of radiation should not be forgotten.
In order to prevent this radiation spread, it is possible to build a shelter and to be protected in this case.
For example, the walls should be covered with approximately 1-1.5 meters concrete, steel. It is also useful for the entrance of the shelter to be zigziz. Because radiation usually moves in flat lines. This zigzid input also causes it to be thrown.
In addition, a fatal radiation continues to spread even days after the explosion. For this reason, it should be continued to remain in the shelter in order to prevent these effects. How many days this time will find it depends on how far the shelter is from the explosion.
But all of this does not mean that you are healthy and healthy.
Because staying a few kilometers away from an explosion and its radiation contributes to your protection only from radiation poisoning. If you continue to stay near the region, you may have to deal with different health problems as radiation will begin to show long -term effects.
In summary, a shelter, a few kilometers away from an explosion, does not help much. Probably the pressure and temperature of the explosion can cost your life. However, a shelter to be built at least 3 kilometers away from the explosion contributes to your protection, even for a short time from the effects of radiation due to the explosion.
