these are particles of radioactive

00:00:23

fallout and this is how a single

00:00:25

particle looks magnified several hundred

00:00:28

times a radioactive piece of matter from

00:00:30

a nuclear

00:00:40

explosion these few particles can't do

00:00:42

us any significant

00:00:45

harm but should there be a nuclear

00:00:48

attack many billions of them would fall

00:00:51

from the sky and settle to Earth

00:00:53

releasing radiation that could cause

00:00:55

sickness or death in the area where they

00:00:58

fall

know that radiation is something we live

with every

[Music]

00:02:45

day far back in

00:02:48

time back before there was an

00:02:51

earth there were flaming Fireballs in

00:02:56

space we call them Stars

00:03:01

and there are millions upon millions of

00:03:05

them each star like our own sun is a

00:03:08

raging nuclear furnace that shoots out

00:03:11

Showers of particles too tiny to be

00:03:14

matter as we conceive it along with

00:03:16

invisible forces that we call

00:03:20

radiation this radiation and these

00:03:22

particles travel through space at

00:03:25

Fantastic speeds until they strike some

00:03:27

other matter which may make new flares

00:03:30

of

00:03:31

radioactivity they strike wandering

radiation Sky partly cloudy this

00:03:47

afternoon clearing

00:03:58

by by background radiation is all around

00:04:01

us in tiny

00:04:04

quantities nature even planted unstable

00:04:07

atoms deep inside the Earth

00:04:11

itself they Decay one by one here and

00:04:14

there in a barrage of inconceivably

00:04:17

small and Silent

00:04:19

explosions each explosion is another

00:04:22

spark of

00:04:24

radiation all life on Earth has reached

00:04:26

its present form in company with

00:04:28

radiation from this naturally occurring

00:04:32

radioactivity extremely thin with

00:04:35

extremely lowlevel intensity it has

00:04:37

always been with us it is nothing

00:04:43

[Music]

00:04:51

new we don't worry about the small

00:04:53

amounts of natural background

00:04:58

radiation but the safely handle larger

00:05:02

[Music]

00:05:03

amounts we must keep our distance and

00:05:06

shield

00:05:10

ourselves for as the amounts

00:05:13

increase so do the

00:05:17

dangers the amount of energy generated

00:05:19

by a nuclear explosion is

00:05:24

enormous near the crater area There is

00:05:27

almost total Destruction from blast in

00:05:31

heat and now large amounts of pulverized

00:05:34

debris and molten Earth are pulled up

00:05:36

into the mushroom

00:05:37

cloud this is where radioactive fallout

00:05:41

is

00:05:43

formed the radioactive atoms produced in

00:05:46

the explosion joined with the particles

00:05:48

of Earth and

00:05:52

debris the mushroom shaped cloud forms

00:05:55

and climbs

00:05:58

higher if it now contains billions of

00:06:01

Highly radioactive particles of matter

00:06:03

that we call

00:06:07

Fallout the Strong Winds of the upper

00:06:09

altitudes go to work on the cloud

00:06:11

blowing it off in one or more

00:06:14

directions gravity tugs on the

00:06:17

particles the larger and heavier ones

00:06:19

sink toward the ground while the lighter

00:06:21

particles continue to drift With the

00:06:24

Wind some of the lightest particles

00:06:26

remain suspended in the upper atmosphere

00:06:29

as time passes their radioactivity grows

00:06:32

weaker so that the longer they remain

00:06:34

Aloft the less dangerous they

00:06:37

are but the heavier particles spread by

00:06:40

high altitude winds fall to the ground

00:06:43

within 24

00:06:44

hours several miles from the explosion

00:06:47

they are about the size of table salt or

00:06:49

fine

00:06:50

sand these are the most dangerous

00:06:53

because they carry the greatest number

00:06:55

of radioactive atoms and so emit the

00:06:58

largest amount of nuclear

00:07:01

radiation which brings us to an all

00:07:03

important fact deadly as radiation can

00:07:07

be it has a fortunate weakness a rapid

00:07:11

rate of

00:07:12

Decay and this gives us an invaluable

00:07:16

Ally

00:07:19

time suppose a nuclear explosion takes

00:07:22

place at 12:00

00:07:23

noon by 1:00 the total force of the

00:07:27

residual radiation is at a high level

00:07:31

by 7:00 it's down to

00:07:35

1110 in 2 days although still dangerous

00:07:38

it's only 1 100th but in 2 weeks it's

00:07:42

only 1 1

00:07:48

1,000 with this Decay rate in mind

00:07:50

consider radioactive fallout conditions

00:07:53

which might confront us after a massive

00:07:56

attack within an hour Fallout would be a

00:07:59

serious ious problem in the vicinity of

00:08:01

explosions which occur on or near the

00:08:04

ground by 7 hours after the attack the

00:08:07

fallout area covers more and more of the

00:08:10

country as the prevailing winds expand

00:08:12

the Fallout in a downwind

00:08:15

pattern 24

00:08:17

hours 48

00:08:19

hours without shelter Millions would

00:08:22

face

00:08:26

death a few days later those who have

00:08:28

taken shelter will

00:08:30

survive in many areas people can even

00:08:33

leave shelter for brief periods of time

00:08:35

to carry out important

00:08:37

tasks within 2 weeks most people can

00:08:41

leave their shelters for longer periods

00:08:43

as the radioactivity decays to lower

00:08:48

levels the lesson is obvious we must

00:08:51

Shield ourselves from radiation through

00:08:54

the dangerous

00:08:58

period

00:08:59

[Music]

00:09:02

to do this we need more than

00:09:05

time fortunately we have another

00:09:09

Ally

00:09:11

[Music]

00:09:13

distance the greater our distance from

00:09:16

The Fallout particles the less radiation

00:09:19

we

00:09:21

receive you would receive less radiation

00:09:24

in the middle of a tall building than

00:09:25

you would receive on the top or bottom

00:09:27

floors because there would be more

00:09:29

distance and partitions between you and

00:09:31

the source of the radiation The Fallout

00:09:34

particles which would cover the roof and

00:09:36

the ground around the

00:09:37

building only an insignificant amount

00:09:40

would get

00:09:42

inside and finally along with Decay rate

00:09:45

and distance we have still another and

00:09:48

very important

00:09:51

Ally

00:09:53

Mass when highly radioactive fallout

00:09:55

covers our immediate area we can Shield

00:09:58

ourselves through the the most dangerous

00:10:00

period by using the sheer weight of any

00:10:07

material but the protecting material

00:10:09

must be heavy to Shield out some 99% of

00:10:13

the radiation you would need about 5 1/2

00:10:16

ft of

00:10:18

wood or 2 ft of

00:10:21

Earth or one and 1/3 ft of

00:10:25

concrete or a/t of

00:10:28

Steel even even though the thickness of

00:10:30

these materials varies they all weigh

00:10:32

the

00:10:36

same taking a house as an example it

00:10:40

offers a small amount of mass and

00:10:42

distance from radiation but not enough

00:10:44

protection in an area of heavy

00:10:48

Fallout the solution is plain Fallout

00:10:52

shelters are the best defense against

00:10:54

nuclear

00:10:55

radiation whether in a home for a single

00:10:58

family

00:11:00

or a large community type in an

00:11:02

apartment

00:11:03

building they offer the kind of

00:11:06

protection from radiation you would

00:11:07

probably need in case of a nuclear

00:11:11

[Music]

00:11:23

attack but the best shelter would be

00:11:25

worthless unless it was

00:11:27

used most people find it hard to

00:11:30

understand how silent invisible rays

00:11:33

which cannot even be felt could be so

00:11:37

damaging let's see what happens when

00:11:39

radiation penetrates the body and

00:11:41

attacks the

00:11:42

cells what is a cell and what happens

00:11:45

when it is

00:11:47

attacked it's a simple organism which

00:11:50

reproduces Itself by

00:11:52

dividing our bodies are made up of

00:11:55

millions of cells they are the building

00:11:57

blocks of our Blood and Tissue

00:12:00

issues now powerful radiation strikes

00:12:04

and cells are injured or

00:12:07

destroyed if radiation stops before the

00:12:10

accumulated dose is too great almost all

00:12:13

of the damage eventually will be

00:12:15

repaired if radiation continues there

00:12:18

are some cells less able to function at

00:12:20

top

00:12:21

efficiency should the body fall behind

00:12:24

in its recovery severe illness or death

00:12:27

could result

00:12:34

the key then is the amount the total

00:12:37

dose of radiation

00:12:40

received we measure radiation the same

00:12:43

way speed is measured by a

00:12:45

speedometer only instead of a

00:12:47

speedometer we have a rate meter and

00:12:50

instead of miles per hour we measure the

00:12:52

rate in rkin per

00:12:56

hour we need another device called a

00:12:59

dosimeter to record how much radiation a

00:13:02

person has accumulated over a period of

00:13:06

time in the same way we record

00:13:09

accumulated distance in

00:13:11

miles the dosimeter records accumulated

00:13:14

dose in

00:13:17

[Laughter]

00:13:21

renkins with this in mind let's return

00:13:24

to background

00:13:26

[Music]

00:13:28

radiation

00:13:30

in an average lifetime a person might

00:13:32

expect to accumulate about 10 renkins

00:13:34

from his natural

00:13:37

environment not enough to affect his

00:13:44

health this same healthy person would

00:13:46

need medical care if he received more

00:13:48

than 200 renkins within a few

00:13:51

days 300 renkins in the same period

00:13:54

would cause severe radiation sickness or

00:13:57

possibly death

00:13:59

and as we go beyond 300 renkins the

00:14:02

danger of death increases

00:14:05

rapidly so now we see why shelter is

00:14:09

vital the difference between

00:14:11

accumulating a large dose because of

00:14:13

little or no shielding and a small dose

00:14:16

because of adequate shielding is the

00:14:18

difference between death and

00:14:23

life no clothing of course could

00:14:25

possibly provide enough

00:14:28

shielding

00:14:30

however if you were to be in the open

00:14:32

during Fallout conditions clothing would

00:14:34

keep the particles from touching your

00:14:36

skin there is no such thing as a Fallout

00:14:39

suit but ordinary clothing would help

00:14:42

until you could reach the safety of a

00:14:44

shelter then the Fallout particles can

00:14:46

be brushed off and outer clothing

00:14:50

removed if Fallout settles on your food

00:14:53

the food itself is not harmed since

00:14:56

radiation damages only living tissue and

00:14:59

you can easily decontaminate it using

00:15:02

almost the same methods you use in

00:15:04

everyday food

00:15:06

preparation actually even if you

00:15:08

accidentally swallowed some Fallout

00:15:10

particles it wouldn't kill you the

00:15:14

effects if any probably wouldn't show up

00:15:16

for

00:15:17

years still since there is a possibility

00:15:19

of long-term effects such as shortened

00:15:23

lifespan cancer or hereditary damage

00:15:27

it's wise to remove the Radioactive

00:15:29

particles by simply washing wiping or

00:15:34

peeling but it's vital to remember this

00:15:37

neither water nor chemicals can destroy

00:15:43

radioactivity The Fallout particles can

00:15:45

only be moved or washed

00:15:49

away only time can reduce their

00:15:53

potency and what of water well here

00:15:57

again the same rules apply

00:15:59

if necessary you could drink water

00:16:01

containing Fallout particles without

00:16:03

worry or immediate harm the chances are

00:16:06

you wouldn't have to for long for water

00:16:09

helps to wash itself through the natural

00:16:11

processes of sedimentation and

00:16:14

filtration and swiftly moving Rivers

00:16:17

like this would carry most Fallout

00:16:18

particles

00:16:25

Downstream in Still Waters most

00:16:28

particles would settle quickly to the

00:16:30

bottom others might remain suspended in

00:16:33

the water for a long time while a small

00:16:35

percent of the radioactivity would

00:16:45

dissolve the normal processing of a

00:16:47

water treatment plant would make it safe

00:16:49

to

00:16:50

drink and water coming from a covered

00:16:53

well would be safe from radioactive

00:16:57

contamination the there is no problem

00:16:59

with breathing for air is not

00:17:02

contaminated once the Fallout is on the

00:17:04

ground Fallout is not a poison gas if

00:17:09

ventilation is needed in a shelter a

00:17:11

simple inverted U fitting on a

00:17:13

ventilating pipe would keep Fallout

00:17:15

particles from entering the pipe and

00:17:16

getting

00:17:21

inside of course surviving a nuclear

00:17:23

attack means more than just waiting in a

00:17:25

shelter for radioactivity to Decay to

00:17:28

Safe level

00:17:30

survival reconstruction and Recovery

00:17:33

would involve decontamination in many

00:17:36

areas a very difficult

00:17:40

job unit8 at Elman Morse dose rate 15

00:17:44

renkins per

00:17:46

hour okay

00:17:50

unit fall out would have to be removed

00:17:52

from important areas by street

00:17:57

sweepers

00:18:00

and the remaining particles could be

00:18:02

flushed out of the

00:18:06

[Applause]

00:18:09

[Music]

00:18:18

way food would be a problem after a

00:18:22

nuclear attack we would first use

00:18:24

existing Food Supplies from shelters

00:18:27

markets and surplus food storage

00:18:31

when Fallout had decayed to safe levels

00:18:34

people could begin to work in the fields

00:18:35

for limited periods of

00:18:40

time in a few areas the land would not

00:18:43

be suitable for food but such crops as

00:18:46

cotton could be

00:18:47

[Applause]

00:18:53

grown crops for human consumption would

00:18:55

be grown in areas that had received the

00:18:57

least Fallout

00:19:06

the reason we would be able to grow and

00:19:08

eat food planted in this land is that

00:19:10

the transfer of radioactivity from soil

00:19:13

to plants is extremely

00:19:27

low

00:19:34

and so if nuclear attack should ever

00:19:36

come in spite of every effort to avoid

00:19:38

it we must be able to survive and

00:19:41

rebuild for the

00:19:44

future but survival can only come

00:19:47

through

00:19:48

knowledge the basic facts we must all

00:19:51

know are relatively

00:19:53

simple first there is nothing new about

00:19:56

radiation it has always been with

00:20:00

us what is new is the vast amount we

00:20:03

would be exposed to as a result of

00:20:05

nuclear

00:20:08

explosions much of this danger would

00:20:10

come to us in the form of

00:20:13

Fallout but we are not without personal

00:20:16

weapons or

00:20:17

defense one of these is

00:20:20

time radiation decays and so we would

00:20:24

not have to take maximum precautions

00:20:27

indefinitely

00:20:30

another defense is

00:20:32

distance radiating particles 50 ft away

00:20:35

for instance would not affect us as much

00:20:37

as particles a few feet

00:20:40

away and our third defense is

00:20:44

mass any material with enough weight

00:20:46

will keep the penetrating Rays from

00:20:48

hurting

00:20:49

us the greater the weight of the

00:20:51

material between us in the particles the

00:20:54

safer we would

00:20:56

be the best way we can use all three

Description:

Created by the Office of Civil Defense in 1955, "Fallout" drolly discusses the fallout produced by nuclear explosions. The goal of the film was to promote nationwide adoption of fallout shelters as part of the Civil Defense program and indeed, at the time it was made, these kind of shelters were required for public buildings including schools. A fallout shelter is an enclosed space specially designed to protect occupants from radioactive debris or fallout resulting from a nuclear explosion. Many such shelters were constructed as civil defense measures during the Cold War. As the film explains, radiation can make a person sick and even kill them. The three best defenses are distance, mass, and time. Get as far from the fallout as possible, which may mean going to the middle of a large building rather than near its outside; have concrete and other materials between you and fallout; and, allow for the fact that radioactive material loses its potency over time: e.g., two weeks after an explosion, it's at 1/1000th of its initial strength. Fallout shelters are the best civil defense: the federal government has a program to ensure adequate fallout shelters for all. A booklet that accompanied this film, with the same title, was widely disseminated by the Office of Civil Defense and can be found on line.
