This is a simulation of a 1Megaton blast at the town Karlskoga near me. The town has very large defence industry with blast-protected workplaces so a large bomb is to some degree necessary though a 1Mton bomb is extremely unlikely to be used. I live about the same distance from ground-zero as "Svartå", in my case 24km, and will not be directly affected by heat or blast. Even windows will not break. You can simulate fallout with this site but I didnt get it working properly. I am thinking about my basement in my house, I would like cover the windows that are close to the ground
I am thinking of making boxes around them and fill these with sand, a lot of sand. It would be less work than with concrete and should protect against fallout radiation if thick enough. If the door gets jamed or obstructed I could dig out from the basement through the windows instead, pushing the sand away. This is a air-burst, a ground burst is probably more likely and then the blast-radius is much smaller. I also include a 10Megaton blast but that is offcourse not realistic, these large bombs are rare. Even in this case my house will not burn but its getting close.Fallout is not very likely because these are air-bursts.
