Is a world like Fallout possible?
No. Fallout is a work of fiction that is not intended to be plausible or scientifically accurate. It is entertainment only. It would not be possible for any number of humans to survive in such an environment for more than a few weeks, and a survivable level of nuclear devastation would not create a wasteland.
How long would a nuclear fallout last?
The damage caused would be internal, with the injurious effects appearing over many years. For the survivors of a nuclear war, this lingering radiation hazard could represent a grave threat for as long as 1 to 5 years after the attack.
What would happen if there was a nuclear fallout?
Besides the immediate destruction of cities by nuclear blasts, the potential aftermath of a nuclear war could involve firestorms, a nuclear winter, widespread radiation sickness from fallout, and/or the temporary (if not permanent) loss of much modern technology due to electromagnetic pulses.
How long would it take to rebuild after a nuclear war?
Recovery would probably take about 3-10 years, but the Academy’s study notes that long term global changes cannot be completely ruled out. The reduced ozone concentrations would have a number of consequences outside the areas in which the detonations occurred.
Can you survive a nuke in a fridge?
GEORGE LUCAS IS WRONG: You Can’t Survive A Nuclear Bomb By Hiding In A Fridge. “The odds of surviving that refrigerator — from a lot of scientists — are about 50-50,” Lucas said.
What is a nuke in Fallout?
The term nuke is a generic name for a nuclear bomb. Nuclear weapons appear or are mentioned in all Fallout games. In the cancelled Van Buren project, the B.O.M.B.-001 space station was planned as the endgame location, which served as an orbital ballistic missile launch platform.
Can You prevet all nuclear fallout?
In short, no, you cannot prevet all fallout. This is because nuclear detonations produce both fission products from the fission portion of the reaction of even a thermonuclear device, as well as the initial burst of neutrons would activate materials around them, creating radioactive particles.
Where can I find nuclear weapons in Fallout 3?
In Fallout 3, nuclear weapons appear several places. Megaton is built around an undetonated atomic bomb, and the Fat Man and its unique variant, the experimental MIRV, use mini mukes. Vertibirds use nuclear carpet bombs, and Liberty Prime has an arsenal of medium-sized bombs.
Is it possible to make a nuclear fusion bomb?
Theoretically, yes. A pure fusion device would produce no fallout as far as I’m aware. The issue is, all thermonuclear fusion bomb technology that exist today relies on atomic fission bombs to act as fuzes.
