Topic: If nuclear war broke out where's the safest place on Earth? (Read 12456 times)

There is no such place on earth if a real nuclear war begins. There will be a chain reaction, even a shift in the earth's crust, an eruption of volcanoes is possible.

Maybe some insignificant tiny island out in the Pacific? Assuming the world enters nuclear winter I suppose you wouldn't have to worry about rising sea levels anymore. 

Chile also seem a nice place to hide in. I saw a video of exactly this topic in Youtube and they showed the wind patterns. There is a consistent stream of cool air from Antarctica that would blow away fallout. If all else fails, you can go and hide up the Andes.




LOLed at "Mediterranean touch". I live along the Pacific rim, can I just use something else? 

Unless you live somewhere or farm, your home will not be a good option. You should avoid cities (big or small) at all costs! After a nuclear attack chaos will be the new law and you need a safe place to protect yourself from radiation and people!

The ideal would be a bunker inside a mountain surrounded by sentry guns, but since no one around here is a billionaire or heir to some villain of 007, we have to keep our chances. Therefore, I believe that our best option is to use a simple tent, resistant and easy to mount / dismantle, because depending on the conditions we will have to move fast. But a simple tent is not able to provide the protection we need! Then, after mounting, cover the tent with aluminum foil (at least 30 layers with the brighter side facing the outside). Finally, grease the outside of the tent with extra virgin olive oil. Ready! These steps aim to ensure good thermal insulation, camouflage and a Mediterranean touch with olive oil.

That s it....

If nuclear war will broke out then there is no safe place in Earth but maybe outside the Earth which you will be safe from nuclear war but not from dying.

The only way for you to find a safe place is to produce one. You may develop a counter technology against this nuclear thingy. Maybe a protective shield that can handle it or make a artificial place outside Earth (if you ever watch Elysium) and make it secret and invicible so no one can and will target it.

And the best to do is to hope and pray that this will not happen. 

It may not be possible to find places which are free from radiation (not sure about that), but it may be possible to locate regions, were the radiation levels are low enough to permit human inhabitation.

No where on earth would be safe if a war broke out.
You know nuclear fall out can seep thru the earth and in the ground to poison the drinking water.
So those that say underground is the safest only will see their graves by going deep into the ground for safety.

Nuclear power plants have several notable features.

 - They don't need to be loaded into an aircraft or the tip of a rocket.  In practice, this means that they can contain a much higher amount of nuclear material than a purpose built nuclear weapon.  And inevitably they do.

 - Many of the older Western designs (like the GE ones of Fukushima) are built with spent ponds on top of the building.  It takes years for the spent fuel material to cool down and it is simply more convenient to store them on the roof.  If cooling water is not available for these ponds they will catch fire and the material (usually many tons of it) will go up in smoke...and come down as fallout.  Or, if one is lucky, simply explode and contaminate the general area with shattered fuel rods which are at least easier to bulldoze into a pit.  Whether it was the fuel pools or the reactor core that scattered rods around Fukushmia Daichi is currently not been published, but it's clear that it was one of the two.

 - The GE plants and others need a continuous source of power or they will (not 'might') suffer total core meltdowns.

 - They are situated within one's own country so an 'evil-doer' does not need to go to all of the trouble of transporting them half way into space or through customs or whatever.

Mexico, in some movies when there is  some kind of crisis the instinctive reaction is lets go to Mexico, like Mexico is outside the planet or something.

Anywhere not down-wind of the blast radius and, outside of the fallout zone, has arable land and potable water and is away from major transportation routes and cities... a piece of land way down near the end of a dirt road in an unincorporated township in an unincorporated county, preferably way back a long lane with a gate at the end of it. The lower population area the better, because it will be fewer people to shoot trying to steal - or kill you for - your supplies.

I think that nuclear power plants poses no risk to the earth. Remember the accident at Chernobyl or recently in Fokusime? No particular problems for the world was not. Problems will be only in the event of nuclear war.

There could be no place to live if Nuclear was broke out because this can hurt all planet we can call this is end of world we all have to go in heaven or hell because its impossible to live here just because of radiation which will not allow any person to stay here on this earth

Still with the dust, water, fish, and so forth, radiation spreads around the world. It will not immediately and in varying degrees, but I doubt that will be possible to find places free from radiation.

That depends upon the type of weapon used, and the amount of fissile material used for making the nuclear weapon. The radiation fallout will not be uniform across the globe. There will be areas which receive hardly any radiation exposure.

Why would you choose death? It's given in our life. There's no immortal in this earth. All of us will die and that is the end of our life story. You want to be died to see the people how will they die. Do you think there's a life after death? You don't know if you're not already died. No one could tell, what will happen to us after nuclear war breaks out. All people left after nuclear war will become slaves. Our health will be risky because of the radiation of nuclear weapon so does it mean that there's no safest place.

What if the nuclear war breaks then where's the safest place on earth? No one would know where is the safest place. We're just a human. It is very alarming if will gonna happen to us. I hope will not. I love my life, I want to live longer and happy. I want to travel around the world. I can't imagine to see myself in nuclear war then blow my head and body in just a minute. I think the safest place is to go outside the world.

But if you're not watching? For example, I don't believe in life after death. Get that while others will have a chance to escape you will die voluntarily. This is not an option.

I will choose death, the soul will fly away and I will look from heaven to see how you seek refuge

if nuclear war broke out there is no safe place whether if you go in tunnel or underground because nuclear is very dangerous if happen to us doom days comes and if many survivor its good .

When I was asked, I would like to leave the code, then Australia was in the last places because of poisonous and bloodthirsty animals, but if the question sounds, the code you escape from World War II, it really will be australia. This country has nothing to share with others.

There is no any such safest place on earth the where nuclear war can broke out .the earth is fulfill with living things even if these are animals or plants but there is most contribution of these in our life .in absence of these we can't think about life.it helps us either directly or indirectly .the negative effect of nuclear war is Hiroshima and Nagashaki effect.
