According to reports, most Russians have a safe bunker, via their government, to go to.
Well maybe they do..Never heard about that one...But the ensuing nuclear winter and the radiation thats going to continue to kill for centuries they had be some very stocked bunkers. Because life as they know it will have ended.
 
Just my thoughts into Nuclear war . The attacking country will very much desire to be able to reap the spoils of war , just as the world has seen from the dawn of mankind . Considering todays situation with the world populations being what they are , preserving agriculture lands will be highly desirable . Therefore they will try NOT to contaminate agriculture valuable dirt with radiation if they can avoid it . Therefore think EMP strikes and " if " that poisdon underwater drone is up for prime time " tsunamis " accompanied by limited strikes on military targets and cities . Conclusion being in the right location and being prepared to face adversity is the key for survival .

In total agreement. Also, Chinese and Russian leaders know that we are at the beginning of a Grand Solar Minimum, which occurs every 400 years. They know well how it has changed the jet streams and weather greatly in the past. So much so that you can see where dynasties and other well developed civilizations were destroyed because of the lack of crops.

I wish Dr Henley would contribute on this. But, from the book I’ve read about nuclear blasts, the deadly stuff happens in the area, and a bit further (according to the size of the nuke), but doesn’t travel across the country. Just like Chornobyl…it has made that area very deadly for hundreds of years. And the nuke plant in Japan as well as from WWII. Fallout is what those not close to the blast need to prepare for. Even water that has fallout in it CAN be put through a good filter and be fine. You will have to clean out the filter. The reason is H2O does not hold radiation. Only particles in the water do.

Fallout has a half life of around 2 weeks. Stay under cover for 3 weeks. Have a good Geiger counter!

Don't forget to prepare a place now for your animals, so they can survive. Mine are all going underground, but I don’t have large animals. If I did, I’d take the best pair under.

I have a nice size, well sealed greenhouse. Now I wish it were larger. It has solid windows in it and a thick paneled roof…as well as wood sides about 4 ft high…wrapped with plastic and then spray foamed. It is finished off inside with wood walls.

EMP is the first strike afterward the bombs start falling..The wind will carry the radiation fallout for miles there will hardly be any soil that will not have been affected by it..This is not just an isolated event this is going to affect the entire globe....But I digress.

True....But the blast wave will extend out for hundreds of miles in every direction..Those who were vaporized by the initial blast won't have to worry about it.....

The below will simulate a nuclear blast

I will be covering piles of soil that's not in a low spot or water run off path. You don't want the radioactive particles landing on your soil, nor the water that washes it away.

Another option is grow sprouts inside with grow lights from protected soil or use grow bin's with filtered water and stored liquid fertilizer.
 
If I survive the blast, I will cover the garden area, then go inside and sleep for three weeks. I have lots of catching up to do in that dept. Also, if the sun is gone and all hope is lost, I will go pop my neighbor, and send that a hole where he belongs. Always find the up side.
 
Don't get along with all the discussion of "what will, could, would happen"...just as if you could worry about the weather, hurricanes and tornados would change them coming and the amount of damage...TOMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO MAN OR WOMAN...
The discussion of how big, how bad and how long is pointless...just as you cannot change that too people. The only thing you can influence is your preparedness. I was a nuclear warhead specialist in the cold war and had my hands on enough of these simulations, actual results of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, besides all the hundreds of tests in the bikini atolls and russians CZAR bomb...they are all faulted to scared the folks, they are all right to the limits of which type of buildings are hit and from how high. They are all faulted in the sort of materials used, they are all faulted according to the wind directions at the certain moment and season of year. They are all right to the amount of destruction and fallout but faulty as to the length of radioactivity and half-life considering how well the area around Chernobyl is at the moment and how great the vegetation is doing again. Mother Nature will always recover after a while, you only need to get yourself prepped for the "possible" level in your "territory" and get right with yourself by not wasting your time on watching any more videos and keep actual prepping in the forefront of your use of time in the future. You cannot spit against the wind...so stop trying to pucker your lips except for kissing your loved ones now and kissing your ### goodbye if you live in the wrong place at WWIII.

This is the effects of the largest nuke Russia has…or at least reported on this nuke app.

I said that about Dr Henley because he has a wide range of knowledge.

Most nukes are designed now to minimize fallout because every nuclear nation understands the global consequences of the fallout. The detonation altitude is set so that the fireball doesn't reach the ground (that is what generates the most fallout). Exploding at altitude (~500-1000 meters) allows the shockwave to bounce off the ground and then when it comes back up it combines with the original shockwave to amplify it. Thus by not exploding at ground level you get more widespread destruction and much much less fallout.

Only smaller "bunker buster" tactical nukes are designed to go off at ground level or below since an airburst by design does not penetrate the ground.

As far as extent of fallout...I can remember growing up in the 50's when we were told not to eat the snow because of fallout from the nuclear tests conducted thousands of miles away. Bummer because we liked to make "snow ice cream."
 
I know if it is a full blown drop every bomb they have war, in my location, I am 25 miles outside the closest blast zone, the next closest is 125 miles away so my primary concern is fallout,,, if I survive the fallout I can get thru it all,,, my water source is a well so I am not worried about water,,,, seal all doors and windows with plastic and duct tape ,,,,they are your friend

No but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once. 😁

Not claiming to be any kind of expert but because I am retired, I have the time to research things for y'all and provide you the best information I can find.

Nuclear engineering is part of the chemical engineering curriculum so I do have some formal education on the subject, however.

My nuclear engineering professor worked at Oak Ridge in the early years of nuclear power development. Now HE was an expert.
