The Nuclear Bunker Experiment

  Living in a bunker to escape disasters could still end up with accidental death if you don't have proper ventilation installed (especially during a nuclear war). We still have to breathe but that means carbon monoxide could become dangerously high within a confined, unventilated space. One simple action that could save your life, would be fitting a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm. At least then you could become aware of the dangers before they become potentially fatal. The alarm would also detect carbon monoxide from gas cooking appliances, thus warning you of any danger and allowing you to find a solution.

  Hygiene while trying to survive inside a bunker is of paramount importance - especially since clean running water and toilet facilities will not be available if a nuclear emergency took place. According to the book Nuclear War Survival Skills , "water-borne diseases probably would kill more survivors of a nuclear attack than would fallout- contaminated water." Therefore the storage of clean fallout free water would be life saving. Bottled water can be purchased cheaply and stored for quite a long time. Care should be taken once opened or using alternative means of water storage.  We all need to go to the toilet and take it for granted how easily waste products are removed from our homes each time we need to use the toilet - but imagine if the power supplies vanish and flushing no longer works. Added to this, imagine you are trying to survive underground in a bunker without running water or proper toilet facilities...... the smells, the germs and the danger to health are all...

  When you are prepping for a disaster, there will always be other problems that come along the way. The nuclear bunker is meant to be a safe place from war, but you also want to be safe inside from health risks. The discovery of mould in one corner of the wooden roof required urgent action.   Imagine if there is were a leak in the roof and radioactive water enters the bunker, this would be disastrous for anybody inside trying to live and survive during a nuclear war. The word inside the bunker is untreated so applying bleach sprays would damage the wood. Thankfully there are alternatives we can use and this video highlights this.  Being locked away inside the bunker for an unspecified time with mould could be very hazardous for breathing. That is why urgent action was needed. Any leaks or breaches to the exterior of the nuclear bunker would have to be repaired before a disaster struck, because any exposure to radiation could result in serious heal...

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 ...
