How can a bunker protect from a nuclear catastrophe?
In: 0
Unless the missile launched is designed to go deep into the ground and *then* explode, much of the blast from the explosion actually goes *outward* and *upward*. So being in a bunker underground means avoiding a lot of the explosive force of the initial blast. From there the biggest concern becomes radioactivity, but radioactivity has to come from somewhere, and that “somewhere” is usually on the backs of larger particles that can usually be filtered out of the air. Of course if that gets into your water supply you’re hosed.
