It's a question that was once incredibly important, then became less relevant, but with current global politics has come back to the fore - What would happen after a nuclear strike?
Mike Fernie investigates this brutally apocalyptic subject matter by visiting Scotland's secret bunker in the Kingdom of Fife, diving into the science and engineering behind both atomic and hydrogen weapons.

Building bunkers for the very people that start the wars is insanity. Putting our "leaders" in harms way and making sure they know they're the first to go is by far the best way of preventing any such conflict.

Great video. However there is one additional aspect of a nuclear explosion that you didn't mention. After the initial flash followed by heat and then blast there is a fourth effect - it is called drag back. Once the force of the shock wave is over the air rushes back to fill the vacuum created by the shock wave. The drag back effect causes further catastrophic damage.

It was. In the present, Britain is edging closer to nuclear war than ever before. The main reason for this, apart from acting as a vassal to U.S. empire, is the unstable situation where a much larger and more powerful U.S./NATO now has enough hubris to no longer fear a nuclear confrontation with Russia. NATO is not a defensive alliance but a framework of U.S. empire. It is a tool designed to defend U.S. interests first and foremost, as its European members are even pulled into U.S. imperial wars that are detrimental to own interests e.g. the Iraq war (which led to terrorism, economic damage and refugee crises in Europe). However, NATO's expansion to former Warsaw pact and now ex-Soviet countries was always about weakening and isolating Russia, with a long view to disintegrate, disarm and ultimately plunder the former superpower. The main problem with this plan is that they are still armed like one. A large part of NATO, including Britain, does not posses adequate defence against Russia's modern nuclear weaponry. I believe our masters might be quite safe behind concentrated defences with their GMD, THAAD, Aegis, Patriots etc. But what about us? Our current leadership is convinced they can survive that, probably in some deep bunker. But what about us? When do we get to vote on all the incredible political stupidity that puts us collectively at risk? Oh yes, there is no vote on NATO. That sort of Brexit is not allowed. But the master did appreciate an economical Brexit from the EU, since a more divided Europe is easier to control and allows American businesses to make more profits here.

As a kid in the 80's, my mother worked for the MoD within the Nuclear department. If an attack was imminent, she had a place in a bunker, but the family did not. And for the reason, that after many years going down bunkers for fire drills. The amount of video's and classified footage of the effects from these, she left the department and worked elsewhere. Her advice was that if one went off, she would just march us outside. I guess, because we would not feel a thing and would be the kindest thing to do for us all, rather than try and survive along with the cancer rate and other diseases within an apocalyptic world.

Brilliant video, I wasn't subscribed but I am now. I know it is very difficult to condense such complicated information into a short, easy to understand video but for anyone interested -when an atom undergoes fission and splits apart it is not smashed apart in the conventional way like a bullet would smash an egg apart. The atom actually absorbs the neutron and then it vibrates, becomes unstable and pops apart. (This all happens in fractions of a billionth of a second) Both pieces of the atom have a net positive charge and it is that electrostatic force of two positives that makes the two pieces fly apart at high speed. Contrary to normal intuition the faster a neutron is travelling, the less likely it is to make the atom break apart because it will more likely bounce off instead of being absorbed. That is why water and graphite are used in nuclear reactors - to slow the neutrons down.

Kept that bunker a secret when I visited Anstruther. Honestly, though, there’s far more to worry about from the nuclear bomb than there is the nukelar bomb because, and this is true, nukelar bomb doesn’t exist 😉 Worked on Britains nuclear deterrent in Faslane and Coulport. The v-boats were fascinating as were the trident ICBMs. If they weren’t so ch a horrendous weapon of destruction (and also housed so f king close to Glasgow), the technology behind them is incredible. Everything from how, on launch, they clear the water to allow the sun launch, to how it travels, all the way to it travels 1,200 miles up and reads the stars to to locate itself and its target

all those who are righteous will increase And all those wicked will act in righteousness in order that they will not be cut off As wicked does not support those righteous They will lie down and not get up.+They will be extinguished, snuffed out like a burning wick. How have the anointed shown themselves to be people for the name today To worship and serve Jehovah accept Those who are not spiritual how was this foretold in bible End the son of man ? For angels , to separate The sons of the kingdom Look! I am doing something new; I will make a way through the wilderness The wild beast of the field will honor me, The wild beast of the field will honor me, For I provide water in the wilderness, For the ostriches For my people to drink I formed for myself The people Who grew You have not called me I have bought And I have not compelled I am the one bring me Prove me your right side The one for my sake Taken from my own body For her sake - Bring me a gift

Years ago, I toured the bunker at what used to be Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Carp, which is located about 20km west of Ottawa, Canada's national capital. It was originally built to be a communications facility for the Canadian military, and as a place where Continuity of Government (COG) operations could be conducted during a nuclear attack. In wartime, the Prime Minster and his Cabinet would be housed there. Built in the late 1950s, it was part of a network of similar government and military bunkers that were located throughout Canada on military bases and in or near major cities. The CFS Carp facility was nicknamed 'The Diefenbunker', as John Diefenbaker was Prime Minister at the time. Like the facility in Scotland, it could accommodate about 300 people. The bunker also featured a vault where Canada's central bank, The Bank of Canada, could store some or all of its gold reserves. At the time it was built, it could withstand the blast and heat generated by a five-megaton bomb landing five miles (8km) away, but not a direct hit. The facility quickly became obsolete with the advent of much more accurate ICBMs. The Diefenbunker was decommissioned in 1994, and today, it functions as a Cold War museum that is run by a non-profit organization. Parts of the facility were used to film the movie The Sum of All Fears. While I toured the facility, it was interesting to note that some areas were off-limits. Who knows what mysteries they held?

The worst of it will be for the people farther away from the blast. Those that are close will die quickly. Those farther away will have severe injuries and radiation sickness. Most of them will still die, but it will be over a long and excruciatingly painful period of time. These weapons should have never been created. I know it didn't appear so at the time, but the losses taken invading Japan would have been preferable to the looming destruction and suffering we face today. Murphy's law will eventually get us.

If you get a chance to come to the States there's the Trinity Test Site at Alamogordo, New Mexico, where the first nuke was detonated. There's also the Nevada Proving Grounds (formerly Nevada Test Site) north of Las Vegas where dozens of atmospheric nukes detonated during the Cold War. I've toured this location, and even though it looks like any desert valley, there's remnants of blown-up homes, railroad tracks, bunkers . . . it's spooky, because there's still radiation there.

The weird thing is he can say "nucleus" correctly (he doesn't say "new-que-lus"), but he does say "new-que-lar". I would agree that it's at least 50% of British English speakers say "new-que-lar". It dates far before the Simpsons; most of my school friends used to say it and now so do almost all the politicians and journalists. And yet, most of them don't say "skelington" or "Specific Ocean".

Like with so many other things, we opened Pandora's box when we made the first nuclear bombs. In an ironic twist, it became so the only way to ensure none would be used against you was to have your own so you were equally as threatening to your enemy. I fear the AI revolution that is taking off now will be the next problem like the nuclear arms race was. Because don't kid yourself, AI will absolutely be used, or at least be available to use, as a weapon of mass destruction, and quite possibly it may very well reach a point where we are no longer controlling it.
