I recently saw a comment chain about nuclear bombs, and that led me to thinking about this. Say there is a nuclear explosion in the downtown of my US city. I survive relatively fine, but obviously the main part of the city has been destroyed, while major zones extending from the center were also badly damaged. What would be a good response to (a) survive and (b) help out the recovery effort?
Don’t use certain cleaning products when bathing; I forget if it’s shampoo or conditioner, but one will bind radiation to you hair and scalp.
Shampoo cleans, conditioner binds moisture in. Cleaning is good, binding radioactive goop in is bad. Don’t condition.
That won’t be a problem. If you’re that close, you’ll be dead within a week from the massive dose you already took.
Edit: Aww, look. Somebody thinks Fallout was based on real science and facts. Don’t worry, buddy, you’ll be a ghoul and live forever.
It’ll be a rather unpleasant death I might add. Plan accordingly.
Exactly.
