Looks fine to me. Put a couple of lift points on it and you can save money on coffins.

Is there some of cushioning on the inside for when the building gets blown to bits in the blast.

Depending on how close to the detonation you are, a coffin.

5.56mm

I guess these might sell well to people who don’t understand the concept of “half life”.

If there is really a nuclear attack, here is what you must do.

Squat down, wrap your arms around your knee and place you head between you legs as far back as you can.

Then kiss you know what, "Goodbye".

If you are near a nuclear explosion but far enough away to not be killed by the initial shock wave, what you do in the next moments and hours can affect whether you live or die (possibly in excruciating pain).

You may get a warning such as a civil defense siren, an emergency broadcast alert, or a wireless emergency alert on your cell phone. This could possibly give you enough heads up to move to a safer location. An ICBM from Russia (not a missile launched from a submarine off our coastline) would probably take about 30 minutes.

You will see a blinding flash of light that will cause temporary blindness for a short while (from seconds to minutes).

From this point you have moments to act. A devastating shock wave is heading your way at about the speed of sound. If you are indoors, get to the central, most stable part of the structure as quickly as can be safely done. If you are in your car, immediately get off the road, park, and duck down. If you are outdoors and cannot instantly get inside, lay face down on the ground and use your hands to protect the back of your head. If it is possible, lay down with a solid structure like a tree or building between you and the source of the explosion (if you can tell).

If you survive the shock wave, you have 10-20 minutes probably (depending on the size, distance, and altitude of the explosion) to get inside, seal off windows, doors, and vents, and remain for 24 hours. When the dirt and other debris falls in a few minutes, it will be radioactive. This is “fall-out”.

If you, your children, or pets get exposed to fallout, thoroughly wash. Wrap up and get rid of any clothing that is contaminated.

Find out what actions to take next by using a battery operated radio, as cell service and the Internet will probably be down for some time. Likewise for electricity.

Prepare to evacuate the area soon.

Umm…

To whom do you go to get your money back if this thing doesn’t work quite like it says it should?

How stupid.

If it's an air burst, there'll be very little fallout and residual radiation. Naturally there'll be more radiation the closer your home is to Ground Zero, but the closer you get to Ground Zero, the more likely the initial blast will blow away your home or set it on fire, and your nifty little indoor bunker along with it.

If it's a dirty burst, your chief worry will be Cesium-137, which has a half life of 30 years.

Do you really intend to spend 30 years in that box?
