A fallout shelter is basically a shelter that you have to live in when there is some sort of nuclear activity going on outside on planet earth. You wait and live in there until there is no sign of nuclear activity or radiation. However, this takes a very long time. It takes about 1,000 years. So bundle up with plenty of food and water because you're going to live there for a LONG time!

How should protect yourself if there is a nuclear detonation?
Seriously, the only thing you can really hope to do is hope you a very far from it when it happens and out of any fallout plumes. Nothing you can actively do in advance will guaranty your survival. Blast shelters are worthless. Fallout shelters may help some, if you are in a fallout plume but it is unlikely you will build it and keep it properly stocked with everything needed - remember you will NOT be able to stock it during an emergency situation.
