SHOULD BOMBS COME
Fallout—What Is It?
(Editor's Note—This is the first of two articles prepared by the California Disaster Office in Sacramento. The second will appear next week.)
Human defense has almost completed a round trip from the walled cities of feudal days to the fallout shelters of the nuclear age. The weapons have changed; but the basic objective is still survival.
Most people don't understand radioactive fallout. In today's world, they must. The purpose of this article is to present the facts about fallout; tell what the effects of radiation might be if a nuclear bomb were dropped in the United States; and tell how to protect yourself.
You don't need a degree in atomic physics or nuclear science to understand radioactivity. You use electricity every day at home—you teach your children how to avoid being electrocuted but you probably don't have a degree in electrical engineering. This new knowledge is just as vital.
Is radiation new? No. Our world is radioactive. The air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat contain small quantities of radioactive material. You have probably been exposed to radiation from X-ray machines. You may own a wristwatch with a luminous dial which is radioactive.
Is fallout new? Yes, comparatively. It dates back to 1945, when the first atomic bomb was exploded. Because of the size of modern weapons, fallout is a serious and perhaps a permanent problem. So long as the threat of war or nuclear accidents exists, this problem is important to you.
Fallout means the bits of radioactive dust, debris or solid matter which settle or "fall out" from the mushroom cloud formed when a nuclear weapon is exploded. These radioactive particles act like miniature X-ray machines—sending out rays in many directions.
It may be extremely dangerous. Sufficient quantities, over a period of time, can lead to illness or death. However, it is possible to protect yourself from it by taking the simple but important steps described in these two articles.
Usually you cannot see, feel, taste, or smell radiation. However, under some conditions you might see fallout either as dust in the air or a layer of dust on surfaces.
When a nuclear bomb explodes, the initial effects include blast (or shock wave), intense heat, and initial radiation. Results would be severe damage to buildings, many fires, and deaths from radiation. Things happen very quickly.
Fallout is a delayed effect. The radioactive material produced by the explosion would begin to settle from the cloud and would be spread over wide area.
Serious fallout would cover an area many times larger than that affected by the blast and heat. Serious fallout might cur 10, 50 or even 100 or more miles downwind from the explosion. After a bomb, almost any location might receive fallout.
The best protection is fordled by building a shelter and cording to local building codes and following designs available from your local civil defense office.
