Nuclear Fallout Shelters

Nuclear fallout shelters are specially designed spaces built to protect people from the radioactive debris (fallout) released after a nuclear explosion. They typically feature thick walls and ceilings made of materials like concrete or earth to block radiation, ventilation systems with filters, and supplies like food, water, and medical kits. The goal is to reduce exposure to harmful radiation and keep occupants safe until the danger diminishes. These shelters are often located underground or reinforced structures and are part of preparedness efforts during tense geopolitical periods.
