Yes, you CAN survive nuclear disasters...
In my personal research for nuclear and civil preparedness, I came across this title a few years ago.It is fairly well written, has plenty of government backed research material, and some really nifty maps, nucleardetonation statistics and graphics, and even has plans in the back of thebook so you can build your very own fallout shelter under your house.

Written in a clear and concise manner, it offers easy reading on a topicthat most people would rather just never think about....ever.Yet, nuclearaccidents have happened - Japan last year, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island. And, lest you forget, we have already had ONE nuclear war.Yes, Itwas....the big one ended the Pacific Theater of WW2.
