here's the website. After reading the title I was also going to suggest this. Buy one for your keychain, an dmaybe some of the new dosimeter decals they have now, stick them on your car or house window..

They have been written up in the news before and the US Government bought up all their Rad Stickers at one point for use in Japan. Look at the Rad Stickers and the Nuke Alert device.

That's a thought. In a nuclear disaster, it's also recommended to have 2.5 gallons of water per person for drinking and enough food to last 2 weeks. Also, if you see a bright light (i.e. bomb explosion) drop to the ground immediately - something as small as a sidewalk curb can shield you somewhat from an initial blast. Honey, oats, and peanut butter last practically forever. Rice can fill the gap if you have a means to cook. White rice lasts 10 years, honey indefinitely, and peanut butter - depends on storage. Country ham would be a good addition for meat if you can stand the salt. Silo plastic, garbage bags (to wear!), and duct tape are things people don't think about for this type of preparation. You're trying to prevent airflow of radioactive particles into your environment and from attaching to your clothes. Sealing everything is your safest bet, but it's gonna get cold in the winter and hot in the summer.

Here's a detailed guide.

It's time to send in Liberty Prime! Just need to reprogram him to yell about North Koreans and their "Juche" government, whatever that means.

It might be a good time to invest in all those radiation toys you've been thinking about.

The owner is a friend of mine and offers nuclear emergency gear and some information. Related to this topic, good stuff, I own some in the "be prepared" mode I have adopted many years ago. ki4u.com

Don't forget to duck and cover.... this keeps you safe from a nuclear blast.

Well, I don't know about making a house out of subway cars, but here's a guy who has made a nuclear fallout shelter out of busses.

The site has a lot of information, including pictures of the construction.

If it was a big yellow civil defense counter (victoreen), then you damn well better not register anything from any radation source you have laying around, otherwise you are in big trouble.

Those counters are designed to measure radiation from about 100mREM to 500 REM accurately depending on model. This is several orders of magnitude higher than anything you would have from a high school science lab.

If it were sensitive enough a meter to measure such small amounts, it would be useless during a nuclear incident, where REMs are going to peak out in the several hundred/hr range, and diminish over the next few days to a few REMs/hr, at which time is begins to be safe to go outside for short periods. You can probably take about 50 cumulative REMs safely without getting sick. 100 is pushing it but you probably wouldn't die. The sick, elderly, and children are more suceptible, none of these numbers are absolute. The point is, these doses are many orders of magnitude times higher than your radiation sample.

See this link, for a survivalist site, it is a surprisingly well informed, accurate and unbiased assessment.
