2. What is Nuclear Energy?
O Produced from splitting of nucleus from
an uranium atom by a neutron (Nuclear
Fission)
O The process above( Nuclear Fission)
excessive radiation
O Radiation is harmful to humans if they are
exposed excessively
4. Damage caused by Nuclear
Collision
O The amount of damage caused will be determined
by the type of nuclear power used and where it has
detonated; on the earth’s surface or in the air. The
more the power used, the more damage will be
caused.
O In this case: Nuclear Satellite (CH31) containing
ten times as more weapon grade uranium that was
dropped on Hiroshima (16kilotons) and Nagasaki
(20 kilotons).
5. Damage caused by Nuclear
Collision
O Wild pressure will build up
O Thermal Radiation will be created due to extreme
heat and radiation will spread up to 5km radius.
O Radiation causes a lot of long-term effects such as
skin cancers, other cancers and burns.
O There are chances that people will develop mental
illness which could take years to recover. If not
treated properly then the result might even be death.
O As a result of the heavy air pressure and heat,
causes of fire will occur.
O Fires will eradicate big infrastructures, burning entire
buildings around three kilometres range.
6. Damage caused by Nuclear
Collision
O Due to immense heat caused by thermal radiation
and ionizing radiation will start affecting the
surrounding area of two kilometres.
O Due to a humungous blast, a massive air cloud
would have formed and some falling out of
radioactive particles occurs.
O Fallout particle are radioactive particles thrown
from the ash cloud at the time of detonation.
O These particles contaminate water supply, food
supply and also air quality affecting everything
around a ten kilometre radius.
7. Damage caused by Nuclear
Collision
O Eventually, these radioactive particles from the
fallouts could travel around the world affecting the
supplies globally.
O Radiation will start to effect the detonation area
almost up to 7kms radius. It may last up to few
years.
8. Symptoms to look for if you
have radiation poisoning
O Influenza (Flu)
O Loss of hair
O Skin burns
O Blood cells decrease
O Nausea
O Vomiting
O Diarrhoea
O Loss of appetite
O Fatigue
O Internal bleeding
O Increased risk in blood and thyroid cancer
O Result of death from organ failures
O It changes a person or things molecular chemistry causing
changes in DNA bases. Mutations might occur and slowly
turning into cancer
9. Short and Long term damage
caused by radiation poisoning
SHORT TERM DAMAGES:
• Nausea and vomiting within 24-48 hours
of heavy exposure.
• Headaches, weakness and fatigue are
the symptoms for mild radiation
poisoning.
• High fever, hair loss, bloody stool
and diarrhoea after a few days of high
radiation exposure can be developed as
well.
10. Short and Long term damage
caused by radiation poisoning
LONG TERM DAMAGES:
One of the long term damage which radiation poisoning
causes is cancer and sterility.
Cancer is caused by the mutated cells which are damaged
due to extreme heat. This type of cancer might take time
to detect and is depended on the growth of cells. Cancer
can also lead to death in a long time.
Sterility is caused also by mutations. It compromises the
ability to reproduce if radiation is excessively exposed.

12. How to protect yourself from
radiation poisoning
1) Protection with Potassium Iodide.
O In humans, the thyroid gland can absorb
radioactive particles very easily.
O Potassium Iodine will be handy then it will
reduce the amount of radiation it will take
in.
O You can take the tablets prior to two or
three hours before the predicted time of
the disaster.
13. How to protect yourself from
radiation poisoning
2) Decrease Exposure.
O The longer the humans are exposed to
the radiation, the more harm it will cause
therefore trying to go away from the
radiation is the best thing to do.
14. How to protect yourself from
radiation poisoning
3) Remove the contaminants
O Remove all your contaminated belongings first.
Take off all of your clothes. Removing these items
eliminates roughly 90% of external contamination.
O Do not eat the food that is contaminated, do not
drink the water that is contaminated and wash your
hands often as it will remove contaminants.
O Shower with soap and water, scrubbing hard to
remove any possible radiation from the body.
15. How to protect yourself from
radiation poisoning
4) Increasing
Distance
O The further you are
away from the blast
the more beneficial it
would be for you and
your health therefore
going somewhere
there is little effect of
the radiation.
16. Evacuation Process
O Where to go:
Few gathering points as stated on the map specifically for
each state.
O How to get there:
Walking, buses, trains, riding (No cars or big vehicles)
O Necessary Essentials:
2-3 pairs of cloths covering all the body parts, any medication
if required, some food and water (recommended) and one
entertainment object per person.
O No weapons, not too much food, No entertainment i.e. 40”
Plasma TV,
No Alcohol.
O To see a constructed gathering point see Fig 5.
17. Evacuation Information
O Everyone will be evacuated at least a week prior to the
predicted date of occurrence.
O People should head to the nearest gathering point in their state.
Once you arrive at one of the gathering point you will be given a
card or implanted with a chip the choice is yours but (Chip
recommended.) In this chip there will be your identification. It
will help us identify you.
Everyone will be moved on buses and trains. People near the
coast lines will be able to catch fairies that will take them to the
countryside and other places where there is a lack of
population.
O At all the gathering points there will be staff members assisting
people regarding the rules such as what to do and what not to
do. Fresh food and water will also be provided at all the
gathering points.
O The photos of the gathering points and destruction zone are
available in the next slide.
