Availability and Shipment of Grain Survival of a Nuclear Attack

Author

Abstract

It is assumed that at least 90% of the American population would survive the direct effects (blast, fire, and initial nuclear radiation) of a nuclear attack of 6,600 megatons if about 90 million people were relocated from high-risk areas during a crisis period preceding the attack. If the survivors from the direct effects are protected from radioactive fallout by suitable shelters, the remaining major problem affecting survival will be adequate food. This paper indicates that sufficient grain stocks and transportation will likely be available after the attack to assure survival of the American population.
