Experts weigh in on how the human race will survive the inevitable famine brought on by nuclear war and it’s not as bad as you may have thought.
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst investigated wind and weather patterns to predict the timeline of nuclear fallout, including the paths through which radiation would spread throughout the country.
In contrast, the three westernmost states — California, Washington and Oregon — would see the least impact from nuclear fallout, wherein most regions would see little more than the safest allowed level of radiation exposure within four days of the attack.Meanwhile, the East Coast also proved relatively safe from nuclear attack, thanks to its distance from these hot spots in the northern U.S.
Americans residing in those Midwestern hotspots would face 8 grays of radiation exposure by the four days of nuclear fallout — a death sentence.Sign for a nuclear fallout shelter on a brick wall outside a residential block in Brooklyn, NY, where citizens would have at least four days to evacuate before radiation exposure from a nuclear attack in the Midwest.Compare that to the country’s outermost coastal states, namely Florida, Washington and much of New England, which would see just 0.
”A major nuclear war would throw so much soot and debris into the stratosphere that it would produce a nuclear winter that would kill all or nearly all of those who survived the blast, firestorms, and radiation of the war,” the peace advocate explained.
