I think it is important for anyone who is afraid of a nuclear fall out to have some sort of KI with them, but we also need to keep things in perspective. Even MASSIVE nukes, if they hit a city center, will not directly burn up or destroy the suburbs of that city. People on the edge will of course get the radiation, and that is why the KI is important. The KI is for emergencies only- it is NOT pleasant to take, it causes severe burning sensations, and it only protects the thyroid. There are many other systems of the body that need to be protected as well.

But people need to realize that not all will be well afterwords. There will be no power, the water will be polluted, food will be scarce, and every other infrastructure will be broken... including security. Think of the panic!

Even with a nuclear bomb shelter, that will not be enough. You only need to stay down for a couple of weeks, and then you can wean yourself back up to the surface. The biggest problem will be FOOD. If the corn and wheat fields get wiped out, what are you going to eat for the next few years while you wait for the soil to heal? Over and over again in US and Canadian information pamphlets from the 50's and 60's they say that MOST people (85-90%) will survive a direct nuclear attack, but that amongst the survivors as much as 25% could die because of the aftermath and its complications, such as starvation and disease.

Some university did a study recently... and they concluded that 3 days without food is all it took to make good citizens rob and steal from each other. After seven days, they will kill for food.
