Knowing how to build a bomb shelter may seem overwhelming, but a bomb shelter can be modest or complex. Regardless of how you choose to build your bomb shelter, there are basic things you should know for protection. These will apply to any shelter that is needed in this catastrophic event.

A bomb shelter is one of those things not many people think they need, but here are a few facts.

If you’re beyond the blast zone, it’s probably survivable.

Should’a nuked the ChiComs and Russkis back in the ‘50s when we had the edge. By ‘62 it was MAD and no winner.

Putin might be satisfied to place just one on top of D.C.

More likely New York, financial capital of the West. But my personal choice would definitely be D.C.

Every time I see a thread or post that’s where in some way related this WW3, nuclear war, I cringe and wonder how the world has gotten to a place where some folks might actually be thinking that nuclear holocaust might be a good thing, a “winnable” thing.

NO NUKES, not now, not EVER. You want to tell everyone your a dumbass without actually using the word dumbass, tell us how you think nuclear war has a winner.

Several important bomb shelter concepts

Storage will have to be rearranged based on where the detonation was. Most of your time should be spent next to the opposite interior wall to where the blast happened, as this is where the least radiation is.

The following timetables apply. Most fallout isotopes will have decayed after TWO WEEKS. Assuming some radiation exposure, your immune system will bottom out after ONE MONTH.

Fallout is basically dust, so dust abatement is important, especially on skin, hair and clothes. Remove the dust and you remove the source of radiation from the dust, if any.

Once washed away, the wash water should be considered as contaminated. Very few water filters remove isotopes, but some do.

I’d prefer to be close to the blast,so I would die quickly.

“If you’re beyond the blast zone, it’s probably survivable.”

Not in a full scale conflict where the air currents are going to carry fallout everywhere on the planet. Good luck surviving that.

When Chernobyl happened, something like 800 more people developed cancer in Europe than normally would have in the same time period.

So, while unquestionably thousands or millions would die within the blast zone of a nuclear blast, outside the blast zone, radiation fears may be somewhat an overconcern.

We’ve also had over 2500 nuclear tests since 1947 and we aren’t hearing about increased cases of cancer in Las Vegas.

The Russians had that edge in the beginning. That is why Sputnik was such a sensation. Our stuff started working in the 60s.
