Preparing Your Family for the

Worst

The Nuclear Arms Race started on July 16 when the U.S. detonated the first A-bomb in New Mexico. This was called the "Trinity" test. During the final stages of World War II, the United States conducted two atomic bombs against Japan in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They dropped the “Little Boy” on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, followed by the “Fat Man” on August 9. Six days after the detonation over Nagasaki, Japan announced its surrender to the Allied Powers, signing the Instrument of Surrender on September 2, officially ending the World War II. These are the only attacks with nuclear weapons in the history of warfare.

Getting Along in a Shelter

You should prepare to stay in the shelter for 14 or more days. › This is because of radiation

When you sleep half of the family stays awake while the other sleeps.

Everyone has to use the restroom in a covered pail.

› A ten gallon garbage can is used to store all of the human waste.

Construction of a Shelter

Concrete bricks, earth or sand, and wood are some materials that are able to absorb radiation.› For example, there is the same amount of protection in

8 inches of concrete bricks as there are in 12 inches of earth and sand as there is in 30 inches of wood

For a family shelter it is adequate to have at least 10 square feet per person› 12.5 square feet is recommended for a mass shelter

Shelters range in price from around $150 to $200.

School Preparations

Duck and cover method was suggested to schools.› Taught kids the tasks they need to follow if a nuclear

bomb was on the way Some rules they had to follow when the bomb was

on the way› If they saw a flash, immediately stop what they were

doing› Get on the ground under a table or chair› Get into the fetal position with there hands on there head

Government Preparation

The government supplied the yellow painted signs at street corners.

Public service announcements were made including children's songs created by the government then were given to radio stations to be played.

The US invented the B-47 and the B-52› These were invented to make bombing the USSR easier.

Effects and Exposure to Nuclear Bomb

Flash blindness› Is caused by the flash of the nuclear explosion. It only causes

temporary blindness up to about 40 minutes. Burns

› It depends on how far away you were from the explosion.› The picture tells us the different thermal effects.

purple 3rd degree burns Orange 2nd degree burns Yellow 1st degree burns

Earthquake › From the pressure of the explosion it caused a minor earthquake and may trigger a major.
