![]() ![]() A global thermonuclear war with Cold War-era stockpiles, or even with the current smaller stockpiles, may lead to various scenarios including the extinction of the human species. ![]() A major nuclear exchange would likely have long-term effects, primarily from the fallout released, and could also lead to secondary effects, such as " nuclear winter", nuclear famine, and societal collapse. Nuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction in contrast to conventional warfare, nuclear warfare can produce destruction in a much shorter time and can have a long-lasting radiological result. Of course if this would be an all out nuclear war, I don't see a point in wanting to survive in the apocalypse.Nuclear warfare, also known as atomic warfare, is a military conflict or prepared political strategy that deploys nuclear weaponry. This scenario applies not to people who are at ground zero (they will be long gone, of course), but to those who are between about 3 and 10+ miles away. If you are immediately keen on what’s going on, you may have several minutes to reach the safety of your shelter before the blast wave arrives. If you are several miles or more away from ground zero, at best you can react to the bright flash of light. Your exposure to deadly levels of radiation depends on three factors: Fallout will kill as many, possibly even more, than the blast itself. The greatest concern for survivors of the initial blast is radioactive fallout. I am not aware of shelters in our area, but seeing that we would be pretty far from strikes, the best bet would be shelter in place at your homes. First of all, I doubt if our area is on Russia's priority list to hit first, or second if they live long enough to fire a second round. ![]()
