NUCLEAR DISASTER PREPARATIONS   

THE MEDICAL ASPECTS OF RADIATION INCIDENTS

Nuclear war is only one aspect of knowing how to prepare for a nuclear disaster.  The situation in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, shows that people should know the basics.  The link above from Oak Ridge contains a lot of useful information.

The six nuclear reactors at Fukushima, Japan melted down within 16 hours of the earthquake and tsunami on March 11th and was a full-blown nuclear meltdown.  If just one pool of corium melts through the secondary containment and falls into the flooded basement, a steam explosion will blow enough highly radioactive particles up into the jet stream to cause severe fallout on North America.

Watch the jet stream and radiation page.  I update it every day with headline news from Japan and my daily radiation readings.

We face many different types of "war" in the near future, and each requires specialized preparations. The anticipated flu pandemic can be considered as biological warfare, for example.  But with the U. S. and Israel planning a bombing campaign on Iran which involves nuclear weapons, we must be prepared for retaliation.  Other countries have the capability of waging nuclear war, and even state sponsored terrorist groups such as Al Quida claim to have nuclear weapons.

Top Police Officer Warns That Nuclear Attack Is Inevitable - 11.25.07

War with Iran a war that would unleash an apocalyptic scenario in the Middle East is probable by the end of the Bush administration.

Experts: U. S. unprepared for nuclear terror attack "...attempting to evacuate could "put you on a crowded freeway where you'll be stuck in traffic and get the maximum radiation exposure."  Yet, "...the only choice for most people would be to flee" because they are unprepared!

2007: Nuclear Attack and Invasion of United States

Putin Not Able To Track All Nukes

Bright Light, Big City (Nuclear attack on NYC, a story)

See Shelter Savvy, by Hal Walter; Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
and the Preparedness Evaluation, a checklist for your use.

What are we going to do about North Korea? North Korea can take out the 7th Fleet at Yokohama Harbor and all US bases in South Korea with their enriched uranium (Capt. Parsons type) nuclear bombs. On Sept. 24, 2004, North Korea announced they could turn American bases in Japan into a "nuclear sea of fire."). North Korea can - and has! -  hit the West Coast of America with their 4 stage rockets...the next time it will be with plutonium (Los Alamos) type nuclear weapons. North Korea announced on May 15th, 2003 that they did indeed have a half dozen miniaturized h-bombs that are targeted on Washington, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. North Korea will begin the war with a cyber-war attack on our Internet - a prime requisite in asymmetrical warfare when fighting a larger enemy.  North Korea DOES have nukes AND the missiles with which to deliver them.

While we our attention is diverted with the Iraq war, Taiwan is afraid China will use that opportunity to attack them, North Korea is threatening both South Korea and Japan, Japan announced on Feb. 13, 2003, that they are considering a pre-emptive strike against North Korea. 

Iran and India have Russian Onyx supersonic cruise missiles that could take out any US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf as well as hit Israel in about 3 minutes...and we are committed to the defense of Israel...and thus World War III.

Pakistan feels they are in a "use them or lose them" situation with their nukes, and could well start a war with India. 

The media has warned us that Osama bin Laden reportedly has 20 backpack nukes purchased from former Soviet agents, with the majority of them are already present in America. These are small nukes, from 5 to 13 KT, and suitable for hard target installations such as dams and bridges. On Feb. 11, 2003, in an interview, a leader of Al Quida, Al-Asuquf said; "There are already seven nuclear devices on American soil which were put in place before September 11th and are ready to be detonated."

Osama's biographer says nukes in U. S.

Seven or twenty small nukes is irrelevant - General Lebed and General Lunov both stated that Russian Spetsnaz soldiers brought backpack and suitcase nukes to America over the years and hid them. If just one each was placed on Hoover Dam and Grand Coulee Dam, the western half of the country would be blacked out for decades to come...life would change forever virtually overnight. The East Coast isn't safe, either. If just one backpack nuke were detonated in New York City, the financial center of the world would crumble far, far worse than the Twin Towers falling on September 11, 2001.  I have no doubt the government is doing everything it can to find these nukes, but if it cannot, don't expect to be told, as the "Powers That Be" do not want to panic the masses.   From whatever source, it would appear that nuclear bombs are already in America.

Atomic bombs are NOT that hard to make, and determined terrorists can build them - it has been done!

And now America is proposing to let battlefield commanders have control of tactical nuclear weapons for a preemptive first strike. The line between tactical and strategic nuclear weapons exists only in the minds of ivory tower theoreticians. With either, we are at the mercy of the LEAST STABLE person who has their finger on the button.  Many nations are preparing for a paralyzing EMP first strike! The latest word - May 27, 2005 - is that Iran is now equipped for an atomic weapon, news that reportedly stunned President Bush.

 

I recommend you have potassium iodide and a full range radiation survey meter at home, plus the NukAlert to carry with you at all times.  The NukAlert was submitted by Shane Connor for certification and they Passed EMP immunity and meet MIL-STD-461D, RS105, so you can depend upon the NukAlert working after a nuclear "event." 

Potassium iodide is a quite remarkable mineral salt with an amazing variety of uses beyond simply protecting the thyroid gland against radioactive iodine and cesium.  In tablet form, potassium iodide and potassium iodate are available from www.KI4U.com and other sources (such as www.anbex.com) in tablet form. The tablets are a convenient way of taking potassium iodide, but at prices approaching $14.00 per 10 tablets can get expensive very quickly.  For years, SSKI was only available with a prescription from a physician, which naturally drove up the cost and in many cases made it almost impossible to obtain without begging or "advertising" your personal preparations. Now, Super-Saturated potassium iodide (SSKI) can be purchased in one ounce bottles (1250 drops) for $40.00 from the Tahoma Clinic Dispensary online, or toll-free at 1 (888) 893-6878 (as of 3.17.2011).  Protect an entire family for far less than the cost in tablet form!  Be sure to read all the precautions about SSKI use at this link.    They have Potassium Iodide in stock as of 11:20 AM, Friday, May 20, 2011.

EMP

Many nations are preparing for a paralyzing EMP first strike!  With the threat of an EMP nuclear attack from Iran, you need to know about Practical Protection from "EMP" and build some Faraday cages for your electronic equipment.  The blue links are active hyperlinks to existing articles that are extremely important in these troublesome days.  

Even if you have taken the protective measures shown on the EMP page, the most likely timing of an EMP attack would be before noon on the West Coast, about 3:00 PM on the East Coast, to catch as many vehicles on the highway as possible - and while people are at work, far from their homes.  The roads would be clogged with vehicles that no longer worked, families separated, and thus maximum disruption of the economy and fear instilled in the populace.  Remember, an EMP attack would be a terrorist's dream, and causing maximum panic in the civilian population would factor highly into the timing of such an event.  Therefore, wise people will have an evacuation plan already formulated and have their vehicles protected as much as possible against EMP and theft.   

 

Folks, we do have a problem. We know something is going to happen, whether it be a rogue nuclear attack, a dirty nuke, biowar with an engineered avian flu (NK is reportedly working on that), perhaps another "surprise" like 9/11 to initiate Martial Law. Some "events" would mandate evacuations for some of us, other events would strongly indicate staying in place. The trick is being alert and prepared for whatever comes our way.

Any one of the events mentioned above would be enough to topple the US economy, as our economy is based on consumer spending, and the US dollar is backed by nothing but the "confidence" of a gullible public. Depending upon one's location, an economic collapse might well be sufficient for those located in large metropolitan areas with a high population of inner city "youths" to want to get out of that environment quickly. Those already living in the country, or more than a tank of gasoline removed from such a metropolitan area would most probably be safe right where they are.

A nuclear scenario is another such case, where those in a localized fallout area would want to evacuate to a safer area. But a nuclear attack which involved a half dozen or more nukes on the West Coast would send radiation across the country, following the jet stream. After seven hours, fallout has lost about 90% of the strength it had one hour after the explosion. After two days it has lost 99%; in two weeks 99.9% of its strength is gone. Nevertheless, if the radiation at the beginning were high enough, the remaining 0.1% could be dangerous. This mitigates for staying under cover, in place, for about two weeks. Evacuating into a radioactive environment would not be the swiftest thing to do. The movies "Threads" and "The Day After" provide startling glimpses into the status of those who wander about in the open during a period of intense fallout. But if at the end of those two weeks the radiation level is still high (within 80 miles downwind of a surface blast, for example), then a swift evacuation would be readily advisable.

So we have to play it by ear, not knowing exactly what move to make until something actually happens. But we have to be prepared to do something constructive!
