The flash of a nuclear blast is brighter than the sun (can cause temporary blindness if you are looking at it) and emits a 10 million degree pulse of heat called a thermal pulse. If you do see a distant extremely bright source of light, turn away instantly, close your eyes, lay down on the ground and cover your head. With a ten kiloton nuclear bomb, all organic matter (that’s you) will be vaporized instantly, wood structures will be incinerated, and glass will melt within 1/4 mile of the blast.Īt 1 mile out you will be able to survive it. Nuclear bombs can be deployed in many ways such as from a missile from an enemy country or even in the back of a van driven into a populated area.ĭistances in which you will be safe will depend on various factors such as size of the blast and the amount of material between you and the bomb. Here’s what I learned about how to survive such an attack and what we can do to prepare for one after a few hours of research.

Many people are talking about the increased possibility of a nuclear attack.
