Since buying the game Fallout NV, I've become more interested in nuclear weaponry and the prospect of setting some stories in a world after a nuclear catastrophe. Problem is, I was rubbish at physics in school and we didn't get anywhere near this topic while I was still studying it. As a result, when I look up these things online, I can't really get my head around what I'm being told or pick out the info I actually need. o-o So that's where you come in.
Here are a couple of things I need to know:
- What would happen if a person entered a highly irradiated zone? How immediate would death be, and what would the death involve in itself?
-Would this person be able to feel anything happening as a result of the radiation before they died?
- For someone with radiation sickness, what would the last stage of their life be like?
- And finally, how far out from the centre of the blast would be considered 'an exclusion zone' i.e. too dangerous to enter? How far in would one have to travel in order for the radiation to kill them?
Kay, that ended up being nearly entirely about death. Sorry 'bout that. o-o Answer as much or as little as you like. :3 I'll cross out questions as they're answered to keep things tidy.
Anyone who I feel really helped will be offered points or a review, whichever they prefer. ^^
Thanks in advance!
