You would need a radiation survey meter (a geiger counter will NOT work for this) to periodically check the outside radioactivity levels on very short periodic trips outside the shelter. Once the radioactivity is low enough (which could take a few weeks to longer than three months) you can permanently leave the shelter.
If you want more information read Dean Ing's novel "Pulling Through" which includes an appendix in the back describing how to make all the items that the characters in his story built from everyday household materials and use them if needed to survive in a similar nuclear war situation.

What energy changes in an atom bomb?
Atomic bomb is a very danger bomb. IT emits the nucleus energy.
What is full form of A-bomb?
An A-bomb is the short form of atomic bomb, e.g. a nuclear bomb.
What is the difference between a fire bomb and a nuclear bomb?
A fire bomb is a conventional incendiary bomb: magnesium, napalm, etc. A nuclear bomb uses fission and/or fusion and is mostly a blast effect weapon.
What does the cold war and world war and the atomic bomb have in common?
at the end of the world war (WW2) the atomic bomb was used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After WW2 the atomic bomb was further developed and "was used as a silent threat against USSR" until 1949 when they had their own atomic bomb. From that year there was an arms race which played a major part in the Cold War
Was the atomic bomb a necessary evil?

What to do during bomb blast?

What not to do during bomb blast?
Stand outside the bomb shelter.
What was the movie with the family lived in a bomb shelter?
Blast From The Past
Range of an atomic bomb?
the full range of an atomic bomb (not just blast range) is 20 square miles
What was the blast area of the atomic bomb?
9.5 square miles
Can a human survive an atomic bomb explosion?
Yes, if far enough away and with a fallout shelter to protect from the radiation from fallout that might fall distant from the explosion. If closer then a blast shelter with fallout protection would be required. But all these preparations are expensive so they would not be available to everybody, and even if available quite a few people would not have the time to get to the necessary shelters.
What is the circumference of an atomic's bomb explosion?
The circumference of an atomic bomb explosion can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the blast radius of a typical atomic bomb explosion can extend several miles from the epicenter.
What is the centre of an atomic bomb blast called?
epicenter, ground-zero
Is unearthed uranium susceptible to reaction if it were exposed to an atomic bomb blast?
Unearthed uranium is not highly reactive to an atomic bomb blast on its own. However, if the uranium was refined and processed into a nuclear weapon, it could undergo fission reactions in response to a nuclear blast, contributing to the explosive power of the bomb.
Is atomic blast the same as atomic bomb?
No. The bomb is the actual device that is dropped from a specific height in the air. The blast occurs before it hits the ground. I am sure you have seen pictures of the mushroom cloud. Well, the blast was before that. It was a bright flash that could blind a person.
What supplies would you need in a bomb shelter?
In a WWII bomb shelter you need water and food for a few days (most air raids and the effects caused would mean you wold be rescued within a week) (and don't forget a toilet) Later if you were serious about surviving an atomic bomb or atomic war as much food and water and air as you can possibly get.
How has the atomic bomb raised moral issues?
An atomic bomb has enough destructive force to annihilate an entire city. It can kill thousands of people in a single blast.
