Nuclear events
(if you are outside of the Blast Zone)
“ARE” Survivable.
Stay in your basement for 7 days= 1 RAD (Radiation Absorbed Dose) per hour “after” 7 days.
You can go outside after 7 days to feed the animals, IF you wear a P100 mask and take off or hose off your clothes when you come back inside.
Wait 49 days before taking off your mask when you go outside after 7 days. See 22:49.
vs
1000 RAD per hour on the 1st day if you are outside “IN” the radiation for 1 hour is “lethal”. See 14 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9HDUu6c6Ck
Polonium is so dangerous because 1 RAD of Polonium contains 20 REMS.
If you absorb 100 REMS you will be dead in 2 weeks. See 19:20
snip Re REMS:
The roentgen equivalent man (or rem)[1][2] is a CGS unit of equivalent dose, effective dose, and committed dose, which are measures of the health effect of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body.
Quantities measured in rem are designed to represent the stochastic biological risk of ionizing radiation, which is primarily radiation-induced cancer. These quantities are derived from absorbed dose, which in the CGS system has the unit rad. There is no universally applicable conversion constant from rad to rem; the conversion depends on relative biological effectiveness (RBE).
The rem has been defined since 1976 as equal to 0.01 sievert, which is the more commonly used SI unit outside the United States. Earlier definitions going back to 1945 were derived from the roentgen unit, which was named after Wilhelm Röntgen, a German scientist who discovered X-rays. The unit’s name is misleading, since 1 roentgen actually deposits about 0.96 rem in soft biological tissue, when all weighting factors equal unity. Older units of rem following other definitions are up to 17% smaller than the modern rem.
Doses greater than 100 rem received over a short time period are likely to cause acute radiation syndrome (ARS), possibly leading to death within weeks if left untreated. Note that the quantities that are measured in rem were not designed to be correlated to ARS symptoms. The absorbed dose, measured in rad, is a better indicator of ARS.[3]: 592–593
A rem is a large dose of radiation, so the millirem (mrem), which is one thousandth of a rem, is often used for the dosages commonly encountered, such as the amount of radiation received from medical x-rays and background sources.
Basic ITEMS that you will “NEED” to Survive:
Stay in a basement for 1 week, and do NOT go upstairs nor outside for “any” reason, or you will die in 2 weeks.
