How Safe Would A Nuclear Power Plant Be If A Nuclear Bomb Dropped?

We live in very uncertain times as conflicts and wars rage around the world. The threat of nuclear war grows by the day as more nations develop nuclear weapons. In my scenario, I asked AI "if a nuclear bomb detonated in the centre of London, how safe would nearby nuclear power plants be?"

The answer was quite alarming, especially since the nearest power plant to London is Hinckley power plant based in Somerset.

Watch the 2 minute video below for the full explanation.



The UK is home to eight nuclear power plants and they play an important part in supplying around 15% of energy needed to keep the United Kingdom running day to day. While nuclear energy is controlled safely, the threat of nuclear war raises important questions around what would happen if a weapon of mass destruction ever occurred. The results would indeed be catastrophic and add to the difficulty of surviving a nuclear attack - thankfully, survival is still possible and preperations can help aid that survival if the worst were to ever happen.

The Nuclear Bunker Experiment Explained

Image
  The Nuclear Bunker Experiment is an endurance exercise by robmacca. The plan is to survive inside a bunker as though a nuclear bomb has detonated. A 100,000 megaton nuke 'detonates' in London, England causing six million deaths and another six million people suffering from injuries. The capital city burns and most communications are destroyed in the fireball. Meanwhile, robmacca is 100 miles away and safe from thermal radiation but is unaware of the details. When the sirens sound, warning of the impending doom - the population will have just a few minutes to take cover underground, in bunkers or a safe place indoors.  Energy and communication supplies are disrupted, the population are in chaos and emergency services overwhelmed. What follows is rioting, looting and the complete breakdown of civil order. The Nuclear Bunker Experiment will be a test of endurance as robmacca will be locked inside - unable to venture outdoors at any point. There will be no heating and no cook...

Portaloo, How Does It Feel You Won The Nuclear War?!

Being prepared for the worst disasters is half the battle, having somewhere to go to the toilet while trying to survive inside a nuclear bunker would be another battle! I've splashed out (no pun) on a 20 litre portable toilet, because if a disaster struck, I'd want to be able to do a number 2 with as much dignity as possible. No running water or electricity would mean taps, toilets and essential appliances may cease to work. Outdoors it would be less of a problem as we would easily find places to go but locked away deep inside a bunker with limited space adds new problems. The portaloo is a good investment for the bunker and can be used for camping holidays or handy as a bedside toilet in old age!

My Survival Kit

In order to survive something like a nuclear blast, you really need to prepare beforehand (and be incredibly lucky to be in the right place at the right time!). Here inside my bunker, I am preparing for a 'just in case' scenario. This video highlights some of the things I am including for my emergency bunker. There are many other items I've not yet purchased but I'm hoping to be ready before that dreadful day. Let me know if you can think of any items I need to include to take inside the bunker and don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel for more updates.
