Nuclear War Survival Skills: Updated and Expanded 1987 Edition КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ Название: Nuclear War Survival Skills: Updated and Expanded 1987 EditionАвтор: Cresson H. KearnyИздательство: Oregon Institute of Science & MedicineISBN: 094248701XГод: 1988Страниц: 282Формат: PDF в RARРазмер: 38.98МБЯзык: английскийThere are a number of do-it-yourself guides to civil defense available, but most seem to be aimed at hard-core survivalists who have crack outdoor skills, and lots of specialized equipment. This book is very different and is written for the average citizen by a former U.S. Army officer, field geologist and civil engineer who built and field-tested the "expedient" shelters described within while still employed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These shelters can be put togeather within a few hours by ordinary, untrained men and women. (It is a good idea to take a weekend and practice building them.) They provide good protection during the weeks it may take for fallout to decay to negligible levels of radioactivity. (Expedient blast shelters, which also protect against the shockwave from a nearby explosion, are also discussed. ) The author is clear and thorough throughout, supplying checklists for supplies, equipment and materials; detailed building instructions and descriptions of the genuine (as opposed to fanciful) effects of nuclear weapons. There is also a valuable discussion of the purchase and use of potassium iodide compounds for protection of the thyroid gland from absorption of radioiodine. Finally, detailed plans and instructions are provided for the construction and use of a homemade fallout meter (!) to indicate radiation levels. (It is a lot more accurate than many of the over-priced, defective-or-uncalibrated war-surplus "Geiger counters" on the market!)Скачать: Depositfiles UploadingHotfile 0 1 2 3 4 5
