  1. In the Event of War Josh Carion Video

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. Storage • Food such as canned foods • Dry cereals • Beans • Flour • Rice

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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
