How to survive a nuclear explosion: Scientists reveal the safest places to take shelter when a blast wave hits – and why you should steer clear of any windows, corridors and doors
  • Researchers used computer modelling to simulate the effects of a nuclear blast

  • They focused on the force from a blast wave rather than the threat of radiation

  • Results show the best positions to take indoors to prevent death from the blast

According to the researchers, the best place to shelter is in the corner of a room, facing the direction of the blast, or to 'duck and cover', potentially behind a chair or table.

However, people should steer clear of windows, corridors and doors as this is where extreme winds travel at the highest speeds, strong enough to lift people into the air and cause serious injury when they hit the ground.
Safest thing is to hide under a school desk.
