'.. what you want to do is find the place with the most stuff you can put between you and the radiation in the ten minutes or so you’ll have before the fallout starts to fall down on you. The ideal shelter from fallout is an underground concrete structure ..' ..
Nuclear protection:
'You can see the “protection factor” (PF) of various types of shelter in the illustrations from the report over there on the right; note that the study puts the minimum acceptable PF for an “adequate” shelter at 10.
Odds are that your shelter isn’t someplace you’d be able to live comfortably in for a long period of time. But that’s completely OK! The point of this shelter isn’t to live in for a long period; it’s just to keep you away from the fallout while it’s highly radioactive. The intense radioactivity of fallout burns itself out surprisingly quickly; an hour after it falls it’s only half as radioactive as it originally was, and after a day it can be down to 20% or less. So your goal is to avoid exposure to radiation until the most intense radioactivity has subsided. (This is why fleeing immediately is such a bad idea; it puts you out in the open, completely unshielded from radiation, right at the time when the radioactivity is at its highest, most intense levels.)' ..
