3000 years or around that number
The fallout of an atomic bomb can last for days to weeks, depending on weather conditions and the size of the explosion. Fallout consists of radioactive particles that are carried by wind and can spread over large areas, causing long-term health and environmental effects. Evacuation and sheltering measures can help reduce exposure to fallout.
No, Norther BC should not suffer from radioactive fallout from Fukushima.
The radioactive dust that forms after a nuclear explosion is called "fallout." It consists of particles that have been contaminated by radioactive material and can be carried by wind over long distances, posing a health risk to humans and the environment.
According to government reports, Northern BC will not suffer from radioactive fallout from Fukushima.
Many built fallout shelters.
