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.

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.

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?
