4. In order to limit the amount of radiation
you are exposed to, think about shielding,
distance and time.
 Shielding:
If you have a thick shield between yourself
and the radioactive materials more of the
radiation will be absorbed, and you will be
exposed to less.
 Distance:
The farther away from the blast and the
fallout the lower your exposure.
 Time:
Minimizing time spent exposed will also
reduce your risk.

1.
Take cover immediately, below ground if
possible, though any shield or shelter will
help protect you from the immediate effects
of the blast and the pressure wave.
2.
Consider if you can get out of the area;
3.
Or if it would be better to go inside a
building and follow your plan to
shelter-in-place.
