Say if a nuclear war happend how long would your have to stay in your fallout shelter for

Answer 1

Assuming you have a nuclear fallout shelter within running distance and supposing you find out you need to get there before it's too late, check out this link for a quick heads up on why you'd be wasting your time anyway. And if you don't have one handy, then the answer is equally moot. Make sure you read the part about the "small" nuclear test in 1954 which made some of the Marshall Islands uninhabitable to this day. And check out the FEMA map showing projected dispersion of radioactive fallout over the US resulting from a nuclear war.

(In God We Trust? That was a catchy phase in the "good old days" but I'm not sure it would stand the test of a nuclear holocaust.)

Answer 2

Answer 5

Answer 6

It depends if the In-laws are in there with me. Probably 5 minutes. I'll take my chances on a nuclear war.
