A field-tested guide to surviving a nuclear attack, written by a revered civil defense expert. This edition of Cresson H. Kearny’s iconic Nuclear War Survival Skills (originally published in 1979), updated by Kearny himself in 1987 and again in 2001, offers expert advice for ensuring your family’s safety should the worst come to pass. Chock-full of practical instructions and preventative measures, Nuclear War Survival Skills is based on years of meticulous scientific research conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Featuring a new introduction by ex-Navy SEAL Don Mann, this book also includes: instructions for six different fallout shelters, myths and facts about the dangers of nuclear weapons, tips for maintaining an adequate food and water supply, a foreword by “the father of the hydrogen bomb,” physicist Dr. Edward Teller, and an “About the Author” note by Eugene P. Wigner, physicist and Nobel Laureate. Written at a time when global tensions were at their peak, Nuclear War Survival Skills remains relevant in the dangerous age in which we now live.

In The Future of Fallout, and Other Episodes in Radioactive World-Making Joseph Masco examines the strange American intimacy with and commitment to existential danger. Tracking the simultaneous production of nuclear emergency and climate disruption since 1945, he focuses on the psychosocial accommodations as well as the technological revolutions that have produced these linked planetary-scale disasters. Masco assesses the memory practices, visual culture, concepts of danger, and toxic practices that, in combination, have generated a U.S. national security culture that promises ever more safety and comfort in everyday life but does so only by generating and deferring a vast range of violences into the collective future. Interrogating how this existential lag (i.e., the material and conceptual fallout of the twentieth century in the form of nuclear weapons and petrochemical capitalism) informs life in the twenty-first century, Masco identifies key moments when other futures were still possible and seeks to activate an alternative, postnational security political imaginary in support of collective life today.

If you have a fallout shelter, you need radiation detection equipment! If you have radiation detection gear, you need a manual! This 1983 book, created by FEMA, is the Gold standard for learning how to monitor radiation in a fallout shelter. Essentially a 'Survey meters/dosimeters for Dummies', it presents a complex and technical subject in a very simple, easy to understand manner that anyone can learn. General topics covered are types of ionizing radiation, how it is measured, symptoms and effects of exposure, shielding and avoiding contamination. Also covered are facts about fallout, use of a survey meter (V-715), the testing and use of pen-type dosimeters and even troubleshooting such equipment. Everything is explained to just the level needed to get the job done and keep people safe. It includes Action checklists, Exposure record sheet examples and a very handy glossary as well. A must-have reference inside every shelter! Sections include: - Checklists for Radiological Monitors - What is Nuclear Radiation - The 7:10 Rule - How Much Nuclear Radiation is Harmful? - How Fallout Radioactivity Arrives and Decays - Instruments for detecting nuclear radiation - How to get your radiological instruments ready for operation - Radiation safety procedures - Decontamination of People Caught in Fallout - Finding the Places with the Lowest Radiation Levels in the Shelter - Keeping Track of Everyone's Radiation Exposure - Checking Radiation Levels Beyond the Immediate Shelter Area ALSO: See our other book on fallout shelters, "Expedient Shelter Construction" and "Shelter Plans Anthology 1"

"In an atomic war, blast, heat, and initial radiation could kill millions close to ground zero of nuclear bursts. Many more millions-everybody else-could be threatened by radioactive fallout. But most of these could be saved. The purpose of this booklet is to show how to escape death from fallout. Everyone, even those far from a likely target, would need shelter from fallout. Your Federal Government has a shelter policy based on the knowledge that most of those beyond the range of blast and heat will survive if they have adequate protection from fallout." -Author's description.
