What is nuclear fallout?

Answer 1

Nuclear explosions produce both immediate and delayed destructive effects. Blast, thermal radiation, and prompt ionizing radiation cause significant destruction within seconds or minutes of a nuclear detonation. The delayed effects, such as radioactive fallout and other environmental effects, inflict damage over an extended period ranging from hours to years.

Answer 2

Nuclear fallout is any matter that is ejected into the atmosphere that remains solid or is re-condensed and falls back to Earth. It is comprised mostly of alpha and beta particles, but can contain some gamma emitters. Alpha a beta particles are relatively easy to defend against; full body covering, respirators (gas masks), and thorough washing upon moving indoors can protect humans and animals from most of the damaging effects of these solids. Gamma radiation is a different situation, and evacuation from the area or removal of the emitters is the only viable solution.

Answer 3

1. vaporized and oxidized uranium and plutonium that had not fissioned from the bomb core
2. vaporized and oxidized fission fragments from the bomb core
3. vaporized and oxidized parts of the bomb that absorbed neutrons and became radioactive
4. vaporized and oxidized debris picked up from the ground that absorbed neutrons and became radioactive
5. larger debris picked up from the ground that absorbed neutrons and became radioactive, ot that radioactive vaporized materials condensed on the surface of this debris.

Answer 4
