Nuclear radiation: How to protect yourself from fallout
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2024
- Since the start of Putin’s invasion, The Russian leader has used nuclear rhetoric to threaten Nato allies and countries that support Ukraine.
Putin’s nuclear sabre rattling has caused unease across the globe as potential nuclear attacks plague on the minds off the public.
In reality though the risk of any nuclear strike from a foreign nation is always incredibly low, some military analysts have even commented the risk of an attack has never exceeded 1% in recent years.
We spoke to Professor Patrick Regan from the National Physical Labourity and The University of Surrey about what the public can do to survive the radiation from a nuclear strike in a worst case scenario event.

"The risk is very low"
When the government is releasing a alert system, and there is survival guides being reported. I'm worried
lol if Russia really wants to use a nuke they should just go ahead that will be the end of putin and russia forever.
u should b
@@michaelsaucedo9233 Be more worried about what is in the food, water and medicines if you really want to live a long, healthy life. You need to be more concerned with what your own government is doing to you than what the Russian government is doing. It's The British Government that just sent depleted Uranium shells to The Russian border to be used in a proxy war. If The Russians did that to Britain, NATO would invade Russia immediately. Look up this on your search engine-

This isn't the first or last time we'vr been on nuclear alert. Maybe the first in your lifetime but it's been a thing since the 50s

Haha 😆
As the sergeant taught me, back in the Soviet Army, during a nuclear explosion, it is necessary to hold the machine gun at arm's length so that drops of molten metal do not drip onto the official uniform.
😂🤣😂🤣 I remember that joke too
🙄
🤣
We were told turn away, place your feet 30inches apart, bend down.....and kiss your arse goodbye.😂
Did they advice to wear a helmet during a nuclear strike too?
"Wait for information from the government." (Same government that's practically begging for a nuclear war.) We are closer than we've ever been.
not enough died during covid for the elites
I remember ‘Protect and Survive’ from the early 80’s … that was bs too!
its mad bro. They live on fear but it only takes that one. It has beeen done before. TWICE!
Don't you mean the Duck and Cover campaign? Oh wait......that was the 50 -60's.

Well I live less than an hour away from one of the largest cities in the United States, that being Atlanta Georgia and I would imagine if another country fired several nukes here, Atlanta being such a densely populated area would be one of the targets for sure, so I would imagine my best bet to avoid nuclear fallout would be to just get lucky and die in the blast so it's painless. One of my two workplaces is only 20 minutes from Atlanta, so I guess my best bet would be to be at work when it happens. I would rather die instantly then to suffer from radiation poisoning.
Calm down. The radiation from a nuclear bomb quickly decays.
I'm sure they would target military bases . Not waste time on you monkeys
@@VVD. Не бойтесь 15 лет ещё радиация будет

@@SupaSaiyanGoku excellent comment 😂
😂😂😂. This is what happens when you know you are provoking a nuclear war warn your citizens on how to take cover 😂
Phew what a scorcher!!!
For Real 😂
just run in zig-zags.
But if being real, kind of leaves me uneasy seeing content like this coming out.
strange this is on skynews and with the new alert system on our phones it makes u think 🤔
As far as I know you can't 100% protect yourself from radiation. If you have a proper bunker, maybe, depending on how thick the bunker walls are, and how deep.
Its a "feel good" thing.. Like here in Alaska when they tell you not to store food in our camp or if you come across a problem bear just yell "hey bear!"😆😆😆😆
It's a minimum of three feet of material to get rid of most radiation though the thickness needed would be dependent on the material
only the rich can protect themselves against it
@天月🌚 yeah oh well
@天月🌚 Most people can't even in that place on the map. FFS
I remember the UK 🇬🇧 gov. adverts telling us how to build a fallout shelter in our homes. We did laugh..🤭😂😬😳 'Protect and Survive' TH-cam

Don't be scared. Way passed a joke already. It's a flip of a coin for our lives now. Enjoy it why you have it Don't be on here worrying.
LETS WAKE-UP AND REMEMBER THAT "NOBODY" WINS A NUCLEAR WAR!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍
@天月🌚 okay ur a bot if ur commenting same comment
@天月🌚 Sadly on point!
lets get boris to organise another party with wine and beer he's great at that not much else lol
Blimey this is like traveling in time back to the 70s and 80s with warnings in the media about the bomb
How to survive nuclear war Take Putin out of the equation
And Rocket man in North Korea.
Mad scientist to make it , take a mad scientist to undo it .
Ah well...Rest in Radiated Pieces everyone...
Incredible that humanity has not learned from the other wars.
Over head cases bruised ego we will all perish.
Cool but can you also make a guide for what to do if you get directly hit by a nuke? Thanks.
you're lucky you won't feel pain. nuclear light radiation transmits pain faster than nerve endings.
make a steak i guess.
Barbeque time

👍🤣😂🤣
On the plus side, a nuclear attack on the UK would be focused on the South with the greater number of military bases, nuclear weapons production, the capital and general hi tech manufacturing.
So if it happens the south will look like the North and thats a levelling up process the tories could only dream of delivering.
Our only nuclear sub is docked in Scotland and if a nuke hit England buddy nothing would survive England is tiny
Amen to that!! 😂
Or a leveling down.
....quote from the film, >2012< ...“When they tell you not to panic, that's when you run!“ 😅
The vertical lines of smoke that can be seen about 14 minutes into the clip were smoke rockets launched just before they set off the bomb. They used the vertical smoke lines to stude the surrounding air was affected by different apsects of a nuclear explosion. They were only in use for a couple of year beofore computer took over the job.
It's so great to hear someone whose faith in the government is so complete. Where has he been for the last three years? His faith in supermarkets to be able to supply stuff is equally wonderful to behold.
The risk of another nuclear explosion is maybe higher than extremely unlikely and likely will occur some day on the law of averages. The deterrent argument is very relevant as proven since 1945 but people commit suicide and strange things have happened such as the Jonestown massacre and 9/11 where people have been unconcerned with death only a cause so it only takes someone in an appropriate frame of mind with likely accomplices to go through with it.
Regarding 9/11, Islam teaches that the only sure way to make it to paradise is to die while committing jihad.
Putin warned about cornering the 🐀, did they listen 👂. Ps what about EMP. The army have instructions to shoot civilians, you have been warned. This bumbling idiot may be right but chances are there would be multiple attack , Kiss your arse goodbye is the best advice.
This video is done for a purpose and be prepared it's coming soon hence making people aware 💥💥💥
Well if they keep pushing it will happen we are closer to midnight than any other time in history
its funny how hes so calm about it no worry its fine very low risk haha yeah right ..... very very high risk!!!!! what a joke anywhere near it and your done for
I'd rather be vaporised instantly in the blast rather than die of radiation sickness days or weeks later I think.
Yes, same here.
Forget it. You won't hide from radiation.
Actually, you just need 3 feet of material minimum to stop the most dangerous radiation from getting to you
My doctor says that people are living under the radiation of Sun.
@@ppen8359 , true. There is natural background radiation everywhere. The radiation from fallout is much different though. It is not something you can escape. It will be in and on everything. Water, food, air, dirt. If it comes to nuclear war, just go fishing and screw the limit.
@@cann0708 , good luck.
@Rex Williams you too, it has been tested though, the actual hard part is Surviving after the radiation

In my opinoion. we are stiull all a lost casue. where my money man
We live near Kirtland AFB and Sandia Labs. Kirtland AFB stores the largest nuclear warheads in the country. We won't feel a thing...
I live in Sheffield.The blast would vaporise me.Fallout is thus not an issue.😅
Well ain't you lucky m8.Nar,sorry I'm with you mate.I live in NZ so perhaps I may survive for a little longer.😁🖐️🇳🇿
i have seen threads. rip mate im about 12 mile away lol
EU joking with world-war nuclear !
Disgusting what some human beings would be willing willing to do.
Humpty numpty making it sound like its a walk into wonderland
Where do you want to be when a nuclear bomb detonates? Directly under it
Now fun is over, let's talk how to avoid, for any cost nuclear weapons, and the carnage of Europe
Have we been transported back to the 1980's
Whats this the desperate Sun working its fear machine
I'd say a lot greater than a 1% chance. I get why your trying not to get people to panic but we are on the brink.
I do not see that because we do not really know US defenses. I would say that if US is protected then nuclear war only has one sided outcome for Russia and that lowers risk substantially. America is not a country that is going to tell anything. It will let people believe whatever reteroic Russia spews.
Definitely on the brink.
Let’s just take a shower in radioactive water. That’s nice.
The council pop is already nasty 😂
Step 1 : get obliterated to ashes
Step 2:….
I don't know how these clowns expect to be taken seriously with their near perfect record of getting it wrong.
Soooo don't live in populated areas, stay inside and drink beer. Got it 👍
Lol
Wasn't that the response to covid too?
@PSYCHØ yes sir. Worked like a charm.
How do we get information from the government? your electronics wil be fried!!! NO RADIO!
That's where my trusty Germanium diode comes in
@@MegaCreeperGamer I love analogue ❤..
🤗
extremely dark that we are seeing these now
it is recommended to find and eat candy, then death is sweeter 👍🍬
Well they told me to duck under my desk at School and this would protect me from a 20 megaton Nuke no worries 🙂
Just play any fallout game and you'll be prepared for the red menace
It's all skinny shorties pretending to be powerful the bomb itself is exaggerated 😂😂😂

If he waste a nuke where I live he must be really sick.
During an all out nuclear confrontation it doesn't matter where they hit or where you live.😅
@@fgk765jkh
Yet many Australians think they can live on as usual and farm the earth.
Its like that episode of TWILIGHT ZONE, the one with Burgess Meridith.
My glasses will break?
Great advice, sit down, have a beer and wait for the government LMAO 😂
Rather it lands on my head better than what comes after
That is assuring and comforting. Good timing. Thank you. 😂🎉
What i got from another channel is Cover attic vent windows and doors with plastic and good tape plus cardboard and or wood on the inside. If you're in a room or basement below ground level add dirt to the area where the house meets the ground so fall out doesn't creep in where the wood meets the concrete. Stay inside for a minimum of 3 days! But longer if you can. Lay on the floor these 3+ days. If in a basement make sure your head is in the corner, its the safest spot. Bury yourself in a 10' by 10' space. If possible under and between 4" of lead or 10" of steal or 24" of concrete or 36" of dirt or 72 " of water via buckets etc or 110" of wood can give a pf of 1000.
Like to know why in Hiroshima and Nagasaki people hit by the blast only their shadow was left
That was where their bodies shielded the ground behind them from some of the radiation. It looks like shadows because gamma rays travel like light, because they are a form of electromagnetism.
@@rob6850
They're shadows in other words...
FLASH 💢
leaves a negative
exactly like camera film
its not actually their "shadows" being left lol
My advice is run towards the expected "ground zero" this will be painless or live in a nuclear winter with no water, food, services, etc for years. Any expert who starts with"I think " scares me. Iodine 8 days life term but buy before on the Internet HAHA
have a wash
😂😂😂😂
whata buffoon 😅
Thanks The Sun for sparking the fear of nuclear war when almost all experts say that it's super unlikely.
we should fear it so we dont go down that path
@@EliotHussman Well, unless you are a super high government official in Russia. There is nothing you can do about it. So I don't see how it would benefit you or any one else to be fearful about it.
Nothing to fear if you are in ground 0 your dead instantly no pain felt
The first 48 hours is the worst of it. Avoid black rain and glowing rocks
If it happens , it happens. So don't worry people because there is nothing you can do to stop it. Just remember, at the same time NATO nukes are melting the meat from the bones of 140,000,000 Russian men woman and children.
48 hours??? ROFL!!!. You must be an American and born in the sixties . You're gonna hide under your desk right?😅😂😅
And yellow snow
The world ends , there's little point in living , it's not going to be one bomb its going to be many .
all 14000 of them im sure
Truth!
I'll be hiding under a copy on The Sun.
Don’t worry about it he says and radiation doesn’t kill people sounds like a honest man to me 🤦🏻
The smart way to protect yourself: support disarmament. But we all know that won't happen, so take some iodine!
Just listen to Nuclear Assault album "Handle with care".
Tell em car care send you.
ANOTHER OIL SPILL!!
ATOMIC WASTE DISPLACED!!
The end of Russia with the first missile fired by Putin.
Most people still believe in mutually assured destruction. America wants people to keep believing that. Even Putin believed it when he started the war. I remember him saying that "we have weapons that America cannot stop." He kept mentioning nuclear weapons Russia has, but when the west did not care and supported Ukraine, he is thinking: why are they not afraid of my threats?
@天月🌚 the U.S. possesses the most advanced anti-ballistic multi-layer defense ever existed. The West will survive. While Russia has something like Soviet A-135 which is only supposed to hit incoming warheads with nuclear missiles of a smaller charge. So, Russia will finish herself even twice. lol
@@dimaleoniv7987 just DREAM ON dude
@@micj2362 Russia finished my friend
@天月🌚 Russia is finished
Thank You.
Why ? Who would want to live in a radio active waste land ,after a nuclear war.
What about a cobalt bomb?
I pray that it never happens in our world.
☮️✌️
Would it still be ok to use the water in a shower or taps to wash as it advised if out to wash any radiation off
The radiation would seep into the water reservoirs turning the water into poison
oh yes..
and the gas, electricity, Internet
would still be working.
oh yes and all the shops will be open as per normal too.
wash it off...😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
@@stevenlee7992 the entire country would be mwlted to Ash and glass.
folks realllly don't understand what happens..
the heat of the surface of the sun... is kinda hot
@@grahamfisher5436 actually I've got gas bottles stored away, my internet is wireless and the electricity supplied via solar or generators. Shops can stay closed I use Amazon prime.
@@stevenlee7992 Yes, nuclear fallout can contaminate water reservoirs and surface waters with radioactive isotopes. These isotopes include strontium-90, which has a half-life of 28 years, and cesium-137, which has a half-life of 33 years. Plants will soon absorb these elements from the groundwater and they will enter the food chain.
Has this anything to do with the alarms on April 23rd?
Just like to say thank you buddy and god bless you and your family 🙏
Preparing people for the worst kind of war instead of exploring paths of peace. What did you have for breakfast- human fetusses?
I'd leave London for a start
the main question is would you want to survive?. what is there to survive for?
We have no protection what so ever dont kid yourself
If it were in fact incredibly low so many countries wouldn’t have nor want to acquire them.
2:00 if you want to hear a guy struggling to explain deadly radiation exposure. Dude doesn't know how to explain things. "Well an explosion, you see, a fireball, the blast, everything, ya know, just a massive explosion, well we know radiation from it, can be deadly, it's lethal because we've studied the results from exposure, so you see, if you're in the blast zone-" worst person to get to explain this stuff lmao
He's obviously playing it down deliberately.
It would depend on the type of nuclear weapon. Fallout would be dangerous in a concerted multi-megaton attack with weapons designed to produce substantial fallout. Otherwise the effects would be immediate blinding light, heat, morbid or lethal ionizing radiation, blast, and the secondary flame and smoke effects within the ignition radius.
Should I bother repairing my shed?
Great video.
Eat can food for at least a week? Use can milk. Always good to have on hand everywhere & all times for various disasters😊
problerly best to

Thankyou very much
Where’s that lead vest gone those iodine tables for I think we are going to get that electronic phone warning anytime soon?
More teams more problems on the world wars, No forgive each other no peace!
It's all very well talking about nuclear radiation from a nuclear bomb exploding but what we should be really talking about is a scenario like Chernobel, a nuclear accident which is much more likely.. where I presume the nuclear radiation is continious and deadly... how do you survive and protect yourself against something like that? I heard that people in far away countries can get radiation sickness or cancers and die because of the radiation..Would you say something about that Prof. Regan?...
What is a recommended dosimeter as well as a survey Geiger-Mueller counter(s)?
Just like we did in the 1955 and the Bay of Pigs, go into another building, and pray!
Surviving the thermo and pressure waves are the hardest part, the rest is stay sheltered and clean for a month

My plan is to have a pack of cigarettes,a bottle of whisky and sit in my yard and wait for the light show. I live a block away from a target.
The best way to protect yourself from nuclear fallout is. Don't fawk with a country that is a nuclear power.😂
It's Game Over ..
I go with "duck and cover" ... this was standard throughout the early Cold War days. Let's value traditions
It is sound advice. Duck and cover when you see the flash, or die when the blast wave arrives and converts your glass windows and wall panels to shrapnel.

@@PharisaerWatch US houses often have basements. In India in our region traditional houses used to have basements, but we no longer do. This might be something to change. But then, I am outside the blast zone of any city, so for now I can hope that the ICBMs have decent aim.
