There's at least three plausible scenarios that could cause contamination without creating nuclear war:
- Tactical use for area denial (Chernobyl?)
- As an EMP
- In space against satellites
If any of these things happen, what kind of contamination would we expect? How to prep?
Exactly, keep your thyroid full of iodine and radioactive iodine cannot enter. My wife's thyroid is non-functional, so she's safe.
Do they protect your skin? Radiation enters from everything and everywhere, like pores. But in that blast radius, it's literally on everything right? There aren't no vaxs, I meant pills, for it. Masking doesn't work either. Full bunkers, with decontamination chambers. Perhaps they might offer mild protection against it carrying airbourne to areas outside of the blast radius. But can you swear on it?
None of it matters if a nuke carrying 25 odd warheads explodes across the entire country or state. It really doesn't matter if a hypersonic nuke has no detection. Or if a dirty bomb, briefcase nuke goes off.
Atleast you took your iodine? Full immunity.
