If nuclear war broke out where's the safest place on Earth?

<< Nuclear tensions appear to be mounting again amidst political upheaval. So if the event of nuclear war, where should you head? >>

If a nuclear war broke out, there ain't a safe place here on earth except on the underground deep below. It will just be safe for around a minute or so and after that, I think it will not be safe. I really do hope that nuclear war won't happen in the near and far future since surviving this kind of war seems like a very hard thing to do, if this happens all living things on earth might be extinct or destroyed. We might survive it but what about the food and water afterwards, there will be a shortage for sure.

I don't think that the radiation fallout will reach Antarctica. Also, the ice sheets are some 2,000 meters thick in some places. So establishing a subterranean base in that continent may be the best way to stay alive during the WW3.

I've opened a world map to find a nice play to chill at and Tuvalu(since it's far in the ocean), Chile (surrounded by mountains), Fiji (also a remote island) and yes antarctica. :D Those are  just some of the right away obvious countries that I've found.

There is nothing to be afraid of. Most of nuclear weapons are far more ecologically friendly than the so-called conventional weapons. Fission products of the common nuclear explosion have very short half-life, just wait few hours and you will be able to visit epicenter of the explosion without putting your health into danger. Wait few weeks and there will be almost natural level of radiation.

Unlike nuclear weapons, conventional explosives are far more dangerous in terms of pollution. Just for example, TNT is a very poisonous and stable substance. TNT and its decay products are accumulating in the plants and animals, causing genetical disorders, leukemia and so on.

There are some places which are uninhabitable since WW2 because of the TNT and other "conventional" substances.

That is an interesting point... I have always wondered why the Japanese decided to rebuild the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima after the WW2. Your explanation answers that question. Many thanks.

Africa or a small island lost in the immensity of the ocean. There you will risk nothing. In Africa there's nothing to bomb and in the island no one will ever find you if you chose the good one. And even if, they won't bomb you.

So if the event of nuclear war, where should you head? >>

With a population of over 1 billion, Africa represents one of the greatest reserves of manpower, for a potential world-wide conflict. So the warring sides will be attempting to remove this resource, by nuking Africa.

Mariana Trench probably  :D

Easter Island in the South Pacific would be one of the safest places on Earth as the article suggests and I agree with that. I'm wondering whether people are already buying real estate there. After a nuclear war the Earth would be a bad place to live anyway so let's hope that will never happen.

well nuclear war is going to be a whole lot different from what we had during the 2 previous world wars. in the previous wars you can go to a neutral country like up extreme north or extreme south and you'd be spared the horror. i don't think that would be even closely the same if a nuclear war would start. i don't think there would be any place that will be safe or anyone as the damage it would cause would be Armageddon  level. it would affect everyone everywhere and there won't be any place we can go to to avoid it. so hopefully the leaders of all our nations would somehow find it important that it's not worth having a nuclear war for any reason at all.

Tristan de Cunha perhaps? Pretty isolated so you wouldn't have to worry about survivors flooding in. Of course it's quite tiny and when the nuclear winter sets in you might have a harder problem getting to crops grow. It might still be far from fallout though, if that can be called a bonus.

Tristan de Cunha  is pretty much isolated. But it is a very small island, and most of it is a natural reserve where human habitation is not allowed. Even the remainder of the island is not suitable for agriculture.

I don't think that Chile will be a safe place, as it is a major country in the Latin America. They will be participating in the world war, unlike the small Pacific nations such as Tuvalu. Fiji is also having agreements with the NATO. 

No one can hear you scream in outter space ;)

I think the real question is what could you do with no one left on the planet accept die yourself.

That doesnt mean anything, Greece is in NATO but wasnt bombing Serbia back in '99, they can stay out of that since one bomb can wipe out their entire nation. Chile, in case it doesnt go to war it could be a safe space due to the mountains surrounding it.

Even if we assume that there will be a lot of land for agricultural production, what to do with radioactive fallout? A nuclear winter? In such conditions it is impossible to grow crops. Where are you going to take an agricultural instrument?

If there is wide-spread radioactive fallout, then I am afraid that agricultural production needs to be moved underground. Now this require artificial lighting and electricity. And once again, nuclear energy will come in to play.

In the case of a global nuclear war will be no winners. And to hide or escape from the consequences also fail. I think it would be better if the topic was about how to do so on earth ever could happen is a nuclear war.

There would be no winners, but there would surely be survivors. SO if I were to runaway somewhere, I'd probably go to Oceania since there are thousands of islands and there are a few countries nearby that would be the target of nuclear bombs.

They'll piss on you and tell you it's raining; when your cellphone signal is zilch you're safe.

No life on earth if there is a nuclear conflict. Just not that simple. In Japan after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki not all the people died after the Chernobyl disaster is also not so bad it turned out. But the check is not advised.

Modern nuclear weapons are much more powerful than the atomic bombs which were dropped over Nagasaki and Hiroshima. There are bombs, which can wipe out all forms of life from the earth in a matter of few seconds.

It is not known. Everything is based on the assumption of scientists. Besides, no one knows how much in the event of nuclear war warheads will reach the goal. I do not recommend this experience, but the chance is always there.

Underwater  ::)

In desert is the best and safest place on earth that you will make your home once there are nuclear war happen on this earth maybe this will destroy all cities and neighborhood besides no one will know when this happen lol but hoping that it will not happen at all i want want our mother earth will destroy.

<< Nuclear tensions appear to be mounting again amidst political upheaval. So if the event of nuclear war, where should you head? >>

I don't think that even the most remote desert will be safe in case of a nuclear war. Remember the Chernobyl disaster? Children in Sweden and Norway, living many thousands of kilometers away from the reactor got cancer as a result of fallout from radioactive Cesium.

I watched a program on TV about Chernobyl and it said that actually the consequences of this accident was not so terrible as suggested by scientists. And mutation of plants and animals there. There are people who never left this area and still live.

I wouldn't downplay the aftermath of that disaster. Although only 31 people were killed as a result of direct exposure, many more died as a result of indirect causes. And a huge number of people became ill, or handicapped.

If nuclear war broke out, the safest place on Earth is inside an underground bunker. A bunker is a defensive military fortification designed to protect people or valued materials from falling bombs or other attacks especially if there is a Nuclear break out. This is the safest because It can cope under pressure that lasts for several seconds after the shock wave passes, and blocks radiation.

Affects your limitations! And then what? Where will you get food and water? Medicines, doctors, equipment.....For life will not be reserved! In the event of a nuclear war, you will have the choice of either die immediately or die in agony later.

I am sure that this will be the southern hemisphere countries such as Argentina and New Zealand.

No life on earth if there is a nuclear conflict. Just not that simple. In Japan after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki not all the people died after the Chernobyl disaster is also not so bad it turned out. But the check is not advised.

well, that is the end of the world..there is now way you can hide/run for that. except you are an scientist that can neutralize the radiation .but still Bomb effect can make you into pieces or dust . Biological weapon is more dangerous than we taught :-\

It is not possible to neutralize the radiation, at least with the current technology. On the other hand, it is possible to escape from biological weapons, using vaccinations and medications.

It IS possible to escape the radiation. Right now, the winds from the southern hemisphere generally remain separate from the northern hemisphere winds. Keep the bombs in the north, and it will take a long time for the radiation to penetrate to the south.

In addition, there are a few places in the world where the prevailing winds would keep the radiation from ever reaching.

The winds can keep these areas radiation-free for only sometime. Gradually, the radiation will spread, through air, water and land. The concentration will vary, but it will be present everywhere.

Nukes dont exist.

International Space station. It will probably be shifted to somewhere far way.

Musk is creating stuff that could carry hundreds of Tons into the space. Can you imagine why?  ::)

The International Space Station can accommodate a maximum of six or seven individuals, and even these need constant supplies of oxygen, water and food from somewhere else.

And don't even get started with Elon Musk. He is a complete fraud, who never delivers on his promises. The ISS is still dependent upon the Russian and Japanese rockets for the supplies.

What makes you think that thousands or millions of people can afford life in the times of active Nuclear War ?

And not just ISS but things like that are going to be only opportunity. Obviously no one will be able to continue life like before after nuking Earth. But would be a matter or who lives longer.

At the most, a thousand individuals may be able to escape from the earth in case of a nuclear war.

But even for them, the long-term survival is in doubt. From where they will be able to source the food and water?

Also u dont need food and water to survive. There are meds that can keep u alive for many years,though not readily available.

Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who lost their lives after the Americans nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tell the same to the millions, who are still suffering from the after-effects of radiation fallout in Japan. It was a crime against humanity, which was never punished. And still we have people, who doubt about the existence of nuclear weapons.

Dont Worry. That will never happen because.

Nukes dont exist.

This is interesting, do you have any links of why nukes don't exist? Or is this just your opinion on nukes?

Then what was the cold war all about?

It's called carpet bombing the allies got good at it while practicing on Germany.

Rubbish. Are you claiming that 300,000 people died in Nagasaki and Hiroshima from carpet bombing using conventional weapons? Millions of bombs might have been needed to kill that many through carpet bombing.

Benyamin nettanyaou or the Bushes suitcases.. ;D

Yeah... Benjamin Netanyahu will be the first prime minister to die in case of a nuclear war. Israel is surrounded on all sides by hostile nations. The only question is from where the nuclear attack will come from. It can either come from Saudi Arabia, or it can be from Iran.

Of course it all depends on the size of the warhead.

The safest place on earth in a nuclear war is far outsight of cities, where the enemy dont see a target that is worth to destroy.

The treaty was signed during the 1972 Moscow Summit on May 26 by the President of the United States, Richard Nixon and the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Leonid Brezhnev; and ratified by the US Senate on August 3, 1972.

The 1974 Protocol reduced the number of sites to one per party, largely because neither country had developed a second site.[6] The sites were Moscow for the USSR and the North Dakota Safeguard Complex for the US, which was already under construction.

Nuclear, what do you mean it does not exist? Nuclear was clearly exist in this world. Perhaps you remember the Chernobyl tragedy in 1986? It was one of the world's largest nuclear tragedy, after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, of course. The Chernobyl disaster was the worst nuclear accident in the world in terms of financial losses and casualties. This disaster killed 31 people and require 500,000 workers for the relief effort. deaths due to nuclear radiation could reach 4,000 people, mainly from the hundreds of thousands of members of rescue teams and residents of the cities most contaminated.

lol this phrase changes the meaning of ur post completely  :D

New Zealand  
http://static.wixstatic.com/media/c8b374_1eddec1561c8435ea7cd485222443c97.jpg

well a lot of remote islands like Fiji or lands with huge mountains in it like NZ, Chile,etc can be a good place to go.

New Zealand  

The safest place would be place where nuclear boomb didnt fall, and radiation didnt reach. If poslible find some place where there is no radiation and with healty soil, where you could seed something and live in peace. But there are more variables, so its discutabile where is the safest place...

Well that is why i said its debatable. It depends from where are you at the moment of nuclear war, or if its was your country that is hit by it, how far was you. Maybe you could get to boat in time with all resurses for trip to australia or new zeland or some other place like that. And about coffin, well if you were hit by huclear blast or cought by radiatio, you wont need coffin so there is that XD .

I do not like when people calculate something is not the end. If you now calculate 98% of what happens and what to do. Where you have a guarantee that will not work, the situation which is part of the 2%? And what will you do in this case?
You are not wrong abouth Australia or New Zealand, but those countrys fell on my mind first because they are far away. And yes probably it wont happen like never. But never forget 3 things that are infinite: universe, "Human stupidity" and winrar trial version... All things i said are hypothetical, so it depends a lot from other factors. :D

Africa would be safest place because we are already living like we are in a nuclear war.

Africa would be safest place because we are already living like we are in a nuclear war.

Im not sure what you wanted to say, but if i understand right you are asking what would i do if 2% happened. Well that is why i said its debatable, too many factors to take in considerating. We could talk like this for 3 days and still wouldnt find solution for every option.

Right. As an example, who is going to bomb mountain ranges? Generally, the population in the mountains is sparse. So, why waste bombs on the mountains. Save the bombs for the big cities and industrialized areas.

However, somebody might bomb one mountain here or there.

8)

I must agree with our friend here, most people die from effects of the blast. So beeing on mountain is not best idea, but beeing in bunker in mountain, well that is something to think abouth.  ;D

Yes but people are adaptive. If that happens, there are still basic knowlage how to do things. And people are quick to learn when it comes to extreem, or they die. Even wild beast can be tamed.

In a bunker underground for a little while of course  ;D

I would like to know what you're going to the bunker to eat? It seems to me that in the event of a nuclear war will be two exits. The first is to die immediately and without pain, and the second is a long time to suffer and die from hunger and disease.

I don't think there would be a safe place if ever a nuclear war breaks out because if that happens it will cause a nuclear winter that will block the sunlight from entering the atmosphere for years thus all the plants on earth will die and soon the domino effect will take place from animals going extinct because of lack of food and then all humanity will fall as well.

Norway is actually storing thousands of plant seeds etc in Svalbard for that reason.
Though it will take a long time before those seeds will grow.

Most of the grains can be harvested after 90 to 120 days. Some of the vegetables take even less time to mature. So until then, the bunker inhabitants will have to survive on frozen and canned food.

Nuclear war broke out, I think the earth is not safe, Mars should be the safest. Of course, you're going to immigrate to mars.

Mars is a nice place if you're trying to die. Radiation background on mars is much higher that that would be on the earth after nuclear war.

lmao

Actually, I think that the issue is not very relevant, because nuclear war is not so easy to start. What is the point to start it? Each state leader has money, children and grandchildren. Who would want to lose.

The 'fallout' (litterally and figuratively) from most realistic types of nuclear conflict would, in my estimation, be somewhere between Balthazar's 'no big deal' and the old standard fearmongering 'end of life on the planet'.  Much closer to Balthazar's.  Lots and lots of these people remain among the living:

http://designobserver.com/images/features/heller_cobb4.jpg

My suggestion: try to be in an environment you can deal with in a post-war world.  Much of that is going to be sociological, so for most people that would mean 'shelter in place' and be mentally prepared to come out fighting.

Part of that environment I would say would be to be prepared too. Not only for something as extreme as a nuclear war, but have an emergency kit in case anything broke out. Food, water, medicine, medical supplies, tools, weapons, and of course a wallet of bitcoin.  ;D

I want to disappoint you. After a nuclear war, would the electromagnetic storm that will bring down the electricity. This means that the Internet will not work and all your bitcoins will turn into radioactive ash.

The future of nuclear war, the earth's ozone layer disappeared, the Earth Sky cloudless drought, no rain, the most precious resources for the survival of all water, water may be the most safe

Storage of Bitcoins in paper wallets and USB sticks require no internet or electricity. Also, the electricity supply can be restored in a matter of hours, using solar panels and diesel-powered electric generators. The restoration of internet may take a few weeks.

Why did you chose mars ? Why not moon or maybe even Venus ? Jupiter could be nice in this time of year. Mars is booring, too much sand for my taste xD .

Kiribati sounds fine. Island, warm and sunny, parlamentary republic and ex-colony of the UK. I think this is the best solution. Or just to stay where you are and try to survive somehow.

The future of nuclear war, the earth's ozone layer disappeared, the Earth Sky cloudless drought, no rain, the most precious resources for the survival of all water, water may be the most safe

And ways in which humans can live under water? Do humans have to make a house under water as it made Sandy on Spongebob? if nuclear war occurred in the future, there will be no longer a safe haven for human occupied. In other words, it is a small apocalypse. That is why nuclear is prohibited. Too dangerous, both for the shooter, or the shot.

But just try to think of it as what have happened in Japan, only this time, a lot of places had been hit. What should we do then.. Where really is should be the best way to go. What do you think of the 'underground setup'?

I am not sure whether underground bunkers will be immune from radiation. But even if they are safe, I am afraid that only a very small number of individuals could be housed in such facilities for long-term.

There are some speculations that there are some compounds underground , maybe whole city. But when you think about it , its not imposible to build whole city underground. It only requiers a lot of money to invest, but its possible :D .

Well if its dug enough underground with good made concrete structure it could withstand nuclear blast and radiation of it. Ofcourse there should be enough food and drinkable water for humans to survive . As i said it is expencive but it is possible . Didnt know abouth town in Russia sound realy grate , would like to see something like that one day :D .

I like the Easter island idea

In Russia there is such city of Odessa. In this city under the ground, the tunnels were dug. These tunnels are so long that they can go with almost any home in the city. I think it is possible to escape the explosion, but to survive it will be impossible even there.

Hahahaha nice thinking dude, that for sure would make you live true some hard nuclear time. You would have some grate fun with music and good booz, but there is a bit bigger problem than usa side, and that is hunger 😀 .

In case of nuclear war, the oceans around the world will be heavily contaminated with radiation. This would mean that eating significant amount of seafood might cause radiation sickness, and eventually death.

Mount Yamantau (Bashkir: Ямaнтay, Russian: гopa Ямaнтay) is in the Ural Mountains, Bashkortostan, Russia. The name means wicked mountain in the Bashkir language (Ямaн тay). It is also known as Mount Yamantau. It stands at 1,640 metres (5,381 ft) and is the highest mountain in the southern Urals. Along with Kosvinsky Mountain (600 km to the north), it is suspected by the United States of being a large secret nuclear facility and/or bunker as well as being used for communication purposes.[1] The closed military town of Mezhgorye (Russian: Meжгopьe) is situated nearby. As late as 2003, Yamantaw was not yet fully operational.[1]

Large excavation projects have been observed by U.S. satellite imagery as recently as the late 1990s, during the time of Boris Yeltsin's government after the fall of the Soviet Union.[1] Two garrisons, Beloretsk-15 and Beloretsk-16, were built on top of the facility, and possibly a third, Alkino-2, as well, and became the closed town of Mezhgorye in 1995. They are said to house 30,000 workers each. Repeated U.S. questions have yielded several different responses from the Russian government regarding Mount Yamantaw.[2] They have said it is a mining site, a repository for Russian treasures, a food storage area, and a bunker for leaders in case of nuclear war.[3] Responding to questions regarding Yamantaw in 1996, Russia's Defense Ministry stated: "The practice does not exist in the Defense Ministry of Russia of informing foreign mass media about facilities, whatever they are, that are under construction in the interests of strengthening the security of Russia."[3] Large rail lines serve the facility.[3]

Wow that is amazing :D . I never thought abouth things like this , but its nice to see that there is places like that . I thought that undercitys can be only found in movies and in WOW XD . But now i see i was wrong , that would be definatly nice place to be on nuclear war day :P .

United states of america dont stand a chance in war with Russia , that is why they need help from other countrys as well . But even with help i think Russia will give be hell of a fight , and dont forget that there is other countrys that will support Russia ...

but, is it open for anyone. i have some negative minds about the goverment.
 and although those bunkers are big enough .. do you think it will be able to save all over peoples arround 'em, and not having over fullness issue?. if that will be happened, those bunker holders starts to make some exception for some peoples in order to avoid that issue. how 'bout it?

If the nuclear war broke up, i think there will be no safe place anymore in this earth, because it can damage everything, we cant say what will be the effect on us and to our nature. We cant live the same anymore if it will broke out.

It will damage everything. The challenge would be to find the place which is the least contaminated by radiation. It can be Antarctica, or it can be some underground facility deep in the Siberia or Alaska.

Well the thing is that with nuclear war, we wouldn't know for sure how large the coverage of the damage would be. If a single nuke can level an entire city, imagine what several nukes aimed at different parts of the world could do. Even the extreme poles i think won't be safe enough for us. And an underground facility would be only as good as the supplies it has for a limited number of people. Radiation would still be very potent when the time comes that the people would need to come up their bunkers wherever that is.

On  e earth nobody is safe but if you have chance to travel to space i believe it is safer

Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge there is no where to hide because even if one is outside the blast area, the effect after that is even more catastrophic. I guess the only thing one can wish for is that it does not happen. Let the world powers continue to have issues and continue to settle it.

Yes, if nuclear war broke out, then no where to hide in this world. The effect of nuclear is too big to be use for a war. Not only could kill an enemy, but also can kill yourself in one shot. Even if you live underground, that is not safe. To be alive for a long time in a nuclear war age, you just use a mask and it will reduce the effect for a little time. But in the end, to be alive in that situation is too hard.

No place is safe in a war

Patriot is a scam, not a real defense system. There were real-life tests of Patriot against the ancient OTR-21 "Tochka" ballistic missiles. Patriot was able to intercept only 25% of warheads. Funny, but 'Tochka' missiles are obsolete and scheduled for decommission, modern missiles are far more difficult to intercept.

Patriots are also obsolete and scheduled for decommission.

"The Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) program aimed to replace Patriot missiles in the United States, the older Hawk system in Germany, and Italy’s even older Nike Hercules missiles. MEADS will be designed to kill enemy aircraft, cruise missiles and UAVs within its reach, while providing next-generation point defense capabilities against ballistic missiles."

The Medium Extended Air Defense System is just another scam, similar to the $2 trillion F-35 scandal. In the end-product of this program will be some inferior equipment, which is unable to compete against similar kind of equipment from other nations.

Safest on earth? I think there is no other safest places on earth. If nuclear missiles, weapons and equipments will launched, we cannot say where will be the safest places on earth. We cannot do anything, we should know and also our government should know what will be the effect of nuclear power

Nuclear weapons have a limited range. Check this video for demo of the aftereffects from a nuclear explosion:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aza-2wopCFY

If Russia successfully launches 300 nukes targeting the major metropolitan areas of USA (out of a total stockpile of 4,500), some 100 million people (30% of the American population) would die immediately. Another 10%-30% will die in the next few days and weeks. In this scenario, the safest places will be remote forested regions of Alaska and Montana.

Another 10%-30% will die in the next few days and weeks. In this scenario, the safest places will be remote forested regions of Alaska and Montana.

If nuclear war broke out where's the safest place on Earth?

<< Nuclear tensions appear to be mounting again amidst political upheaval. So if the event of nuclear war, where should you head? >>

We cannot say that all nuclear weapons have a limited range. As we can see in the video, there is only a limited range, what if Russia, North Korea, China or other countries inventing nuclear weapons and equipment invent a nuclear weapon that can make whole country destroyed ? We only know that Russia invented a limited range? What if Russia invented a massive and powerful nuclear weapon ?

It is a possibility. However, even the most potent nuclear weapon created till now (Tsar Bomba or RDS-220 hydrogen bomb) is having a fixed range. The “total destruction” blast radius for Tsar bomba is 35 km. The heat from the explosion could have caused third-degree burns 100 km away from ground zero. In future, it is possible that either the Americans or the Russians invent something which is even more dangerous. 

Even though I believe it is difficult anybody to survive after the blast the best place to live temporary is in a nuclear shelter inside a mountain. After that, there are no many places in Earth except some small countries like as Tuvalu, Malta, Iceland but because many believe that WWIII will start in Northern hemisphere countries like Argentina and Chile as well due to located in the southern hemisphere and air clearing up relatively faster.  

I think the safest place on earth when nuclear war was started is in non civilized area or in the community of few people where theres peace. We all know that technology and science makes that neclears now youre safe where science and technology is just an theory.

I would strike off Tuvalu from the list. It is a group of small low-lying coral islands. The nuclear warfare will result in the melting of the polar ice-caps, and Tuvalu will be submerged under 50 meters of water.

I'm thinking about the moon, good weather, no nukes and no humans -for now-.. Mars is just too far for it to be practical :)
Seriously speaking, I guess it would be Australia, Africa and the islands in the middle of the ocean/s as far as they are not close to US or South America. Of course in Private nuclear bunkers in these locations, You might get toasted from the after-effects of radiation if you go out, The sun would be blocked by nuclear dust etc... so it might not be a very good investment (trying to stop it from happening would be better).

Any place on earth safe. Though of course nobody knows the real consequences of the nuclear bombings. Chernobyl has shown that scientists can't reliably predict consequences. In addition, the nature quickly adapted to a radiatio

You're wrong. The consequences were clearly visible after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some countries like Russia also tested their bombs on soldiers.

The exercise, under the code name "Snowball", involved an aerial detonation of a 40 kt RDS-4 nuclear bomb. The stated goal of the operation was military training for breaking through heavily fortified defensive lines of a military opponent using nuclear weapons. An army of 45,000 soldiers marched through the area around the epicenter soon after the nuclear blast. The exercise was conducted on September 14, 1954, at 9:33 a.m

Yep i think its definatly a fake . Because who sane would test nuclear weapon freely , and even on his own soldiers ? That sound a bit ridiculous dont you think . And dont mention number of 45000 soldiers , that is insane .... even for Soviets . I realy think that is just fake , for soldiers at least . Maybe they tested bomb tho XD ...

And what are the consequences of the explosion was in the USSR? I heard about the awful consequences of a nuclear attack in Japan. but I have not heard about such consequences in Russia. More of a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere can suffer and other countries. Maybe it's a fake?

No one died or suffered from radiation sickness, as everyone were provided with personal protective equipment and individual radiation dosimeters. However a major nuclear accident occurred in 1957, known as the Kyshtym disaster. Some 100+ people died in this incident.

you cant say that earth is safe this days. we all know that techology is tranforming things into goods one. inovating things as it can be more useful. earth is now controlled by technology and cannot be predicted by anyone. nuclear bombings is not easy to deploy as it can trigger every nation and can start world war. but maybe for now scientist havent figured out the formulas to sum up the consequences when nuclear war broke out. maybe they are starting on calculating those formulas.

A great place for someone to hide

I don't think that even the most remote desert will be safe in case of a nuclear war. Remember the Chernobyl disaster? Children in Sweden and Norway, living many thousands of kilometers away from the reactor got cancer as a result of fallout from radioactive Cesium.

I must say that from what i saw on this picture it would not be only great place for someone to hide there, but it would be great place to live there. So beautiful... The way grass grow around house, and not to mention background and view of those mountains... To live there i think it is priceless...  :o

no way to get safe .....

china! no country will nuke China this time so it should be safer to stay there. it would be stupid to.  if US will drop a bomb on them then millions of the chinese living in US will cram together to form an infantry and bug their military. Stay in Bejing, there are good hotels there.

The safest place could be here:


Good prevailing wind directions ;)
But I think it's boring there.
What to do there? Just for survival?

If nuclear war broke out where's the safest place on Earth?

<< Nuclear tensions appear to be mounting again amidst political upheaval. So if the event of nuclear war, where should you head? >>

Nice choice. But the only problem is that the nearest piece of land is many thousands of kms away in Antarctica. So what will you do for food (if all the fish dies of in the nuclear attack)?

On the uninhabited island) It's good to relax and wait until the war is over. I can not take food with me. There are a lot of bugs and spiders ;D

do you think if nuclear war breaks out then EARTH will have any safe place left ? I still dought it

I don't think so. Not the fact that the fish will die. Look at the reaction of nature after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power Plant. Catfish still live, animals live and reproduce, the grass and the trees have no problems.

If you look at the animals living in the contaminated zone around Chernobyl, then you will notice that almost all of them have been affected by radioactive poisoning. They are alive and reproducing, but their bodies contain radioactive pollution. Even eating catfish is dangerous, as the radioactive Cesium can deposit in the body of the consumer.

^^^^ There exists no evidence to prove that the people who inhabit the no-go zone around the Chernobyl reactor are unaffected by the radiation. Most of these people are elderly, and they may not seek medical treatment even if they suffer from any disease.

I think the safest place to be on earth on the event of Nuclear War will be Australia, Australians are lovable people and i dont think have many haters in the world, Their isolation will be of great advantage to them should a Nuclear war starts. Ironically, the place is filled with dangerous and very deadly animals so if Nuclear war doesn't wipe them out, These animals will eventually do.

I will choose death, the soul will fly away and I will look from heaven to see how you seek refuge ;D

if nuclear war broke out there is no safe place whether if you go in tunnel or underground because nuclear is very dangerous if happen to us doom days comes and if many survivor its good .

That depends upon the type of weapon used, and the amount of fissile material used for making the nuclear weapon. The radiation fallout will not be uniform across the globe. There will be areas which receive hardly any radiation exposure.

Still with the dust, water, fish, and so forth, radiation spreads around the world. It will not immediately and in varying degrees, but I doubt that will be possible to find places free from radiation.

There could be no place to live if Nuclear was broke out because this can hurt all planet we can call this is end of world we all have to go in heaven or hell because its impossible to live here just because of radiation which will not allow any person to stay here on this earth

I think that nuclear power plants poses no risk to the earth. Remember the accident at Chernobyl or recently in Fokusime? No particular problems for the world was not. Problems will be only in the event of nuclear war.

Unless you live somewhere or farm, your home will not be a good option. You should avoid cities (big or small) at all costs! After a nuclear attack chaos will be the new law and you need a safe place to protect yourself from radiation and people!

The ideal would be a bunker inside a mountain surrounded by sentry guns, but since no one around here is a billionaire or heir to some villain of 007, we have to keep our chances. Therefore, I believe that our best option is to use a simple tent, resistant and easy to mount / dismantle, because depending on the conditions we will have to move fast. But a simple tent is not able to provide the protection we need! Then, after mounting, cover the tent with aluminum foil (at least 30 layers with the brighter side facing the outside). Finally, grease the outside of the tent with extra virgin olive oil. Ready! These steps aim to ensure good thermal insulation, camouflage and a Mediterranean touch with olive oil.

That s it.... :)
