  3. Fall Out Shelters • A fallout shelter is an enclosed space specially designed to protect occupants from radioactive debris or fallout resulting from a nuclear explosion. • A basic fallout shelter consists of shields that reduce gamma rays by a factor of 1000. • Successful public shelters can be the middle floors of some tall buildings or parking structures, or below ground level in most buildings with more than 10 floors. • The fallout shelter triangle, not to be confused with the symbol for radiation---------- • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Zgyp4HgNU&feature=related • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0tP9-x-Wo4&feature=related

  4. Weapons/Bombs • Nuclear Weapons- explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. • Hydrogen Bomb- its perhaps a thousand times more powerful than a uranium- or plutonium-based fission bomb, making it successfully the nuclear weapon's nuclear weapon. Only the five permanent United Nations Security Council members; the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China — are known to possess hydrogen bombs. • In an atomic bomb, uranium or plutonium is separated into lighter elements that together weigh less than the original atoms, the rest of the mass appearing as energy.

  5. Duck & Covering • Catchphrase popular in the 1950s. • Describes the instant actions necessary for individuals to take to protect themselves in the event of a nuclear detonation. • It offers some protection from flying glass and other small, but dangerous, debris. • Within a substantial radius—depending on the explosion's height and yield, duck and covering would offer slight protection against the intense heat, shock waves, and radiation following a nuclear explosion • Elementary schoolchild in the United States in the early 1950s learned by heart the phrase and the actions I duck and covering involved.

  6. Casualties of the War • China(Chinese estimate):114,000 killed in combat34,000 non-combat deaths380,000 wounded(US estimate):400,000+ dead486,000 wounded
