Something I Don’t Want to Think About

Yeh let’s just ass ume this is what Israel will do. Do you see what I see?

Back in the days of open air testing, the only thing we worried about was Strontium 90 in the milk. Farmers had to dump it for 2 weeks,

Wrong, wrong, wrong. The majority of fallout that the world in general (more than 150 miles from a given ground zero) will have to contend with is simply particles of dirt / earth that gets temporarily “charged” in the explosion’s fireball. This temporary radiation charge decays back to zero, typically in two to four weeks. There is indeed Cesium-137 present in the nuclear explosive itself, and it does get particlized and scattered in the explosion, atoms and larger particles of it are much denser and heavier than particlized dirt, and thus tends to fall to the ground within 150 miles of the blast. “Food,” even raw crops in the ground, that fallouts land on – can be cleaned by rinsing thoroughly with water.  Radiation does not “transfer” from fallout particles to crops, foodstuffs, or anything else; it is the fallouts particles themselves laying on the crops or foodstuffs or containers – that is the danger.
 
The only real danger (in the sense the posting implies) is the situation where, during the two to four week period where the fallout particles are charged with radiation, if animals graze (etc) and consume crops / plants that have irradiated particles on them, the particles will go inside the animals’ bodies; some will lodge or be digested and some will pass out. The radiation in the particles may well kill the animals. Eating such animals (or drinking milk from such animals) can indeed transfer irradiated particles to anyone who eats / drinks such. But note, again, there is a very limited timeframe where this is a concern.
 
This information (and much more) can easily be found in the 2022 edition of the book “Nuclear War Survival Skills,” as well as many other scholarly journals and books.

As opposed to how many atomic an nuclear blasts since 1944? Fallout is dirt and may still be radio active, wash it off. Lots of fear porn. Look at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, life seems to be thriving in those places. Take due precautions from initial blast and fallout, stay away from cities
