What is a nuclear fallout?

When a nuclear weapon explodes above ground there is a great upsurge in air currents because of the heat released-you will have seen pictures of the 'mushroom' cloud no doubt. This carries the fission products formed by the nuclear explosive, and also a lot of dust and debris some of which will have been made active by the huge burst of neutrons released in the explosion. This cloud is carried up so far and then falls to earth-this is the nuclear fall out. The prevailing wind will determine which way the plume goes, and how far.

Can you stop nuclear fallout?

Since fallout is created when a nuclear explosion lifts dirt and debris particles into the air and irradiates them, there is no way to 'stop' nuclear fallout from occurring except by never exploding a nuclear weapon on or near the ground. You CAN stop nuclear fallout from reaching you, though, if you have a good strong shelter that is lined with enough dirt or sand (or thick walls and ceilings using many feet of metal and/or concrete), etc.
