Where in the world, in the event of an all out nuclear war, would it be safest to be

jeanimus

A very very very deep cave, preferably with steel lined doors! But it would be pointless surviving since if it was all out, every country would have suffered destruction and nuclear winter and there would be little if anything left to eat and the ground would be uncultivateable.

Probably in the South Pacific region.
I wish my family had opted to emigrate to New Zealand rather than work/live in the Middle East!

relinquiae

A couple of hundred feet under the surface..in a lead room...with enough food and entertainment to last you around 60 years.

There is no safe place with nuclear fallout!

Marine Lcpl

If it is an all out national nuclear attack, then nothing would survive, not even bacteria. No safe place on this planet.

I'd say in a nuclear submarine they can stay under water till the food runs out, maybe by then the planet will have healed it self enough that you could scavenge for food.

No where the planet would be poisoned!

The Will 2 Defy

Any fully kitted out nuclear bunker would be the safest place.

Geographically speaking, Ive heard it said before that the south west of Ireland [Co. Cork and Co. Kerry coastline] would be among the safest places on earth. This is so because the Gulf stream sends fresh water and air across the Altantic and hits Europe precisely about there. This type of circulation however, leads to high levels of precipitation in certain areas which may not be preferable [..in the initial stages after nuclear attacks when contaminated rain falls]. However as time goes by the stream dilutes the contamination levels in the air and water making human recovery possible.

There are of course other areas the jetstreams and ocean currents meet with those of other continents. The Gulf of Mexico, somewhere in PeruChile, Austrailia and parts of Indonesia, near the poles etc. The one issue here is that nuclear winter could significantly altar the global weather and the ocean currents and wind patterns could change.

Also the US have an intersting outpost on the south pole which they dont seem to like people seeingvisiting.. I wonder what thats for then.

Penfold ickle bear

You could try sheltering under a small piece of tinfoil about 4" square with a bit of bird shite on it. I know it don't sound like much but it'll be standard issue for the British army and still there won't be enough to go round.

Felidae

Somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere probably.

NAZGUL

GROUND ZERO FOR THE FIRST BLAST, that way you don't suffer.

Since all the nukes will be tossed around the northern hemisphere I would say down in New Zealand or Australia

robert h

The Moon would be a great choice

driftwood

nowhere as radiation does not recognise political boundaries. How many cases of cancer was caused due to the nuclear testing in the jet streams during the 50's and 60's?

I think like my local shopping mall cos it has a real nice food store and the glass roof wud let you see if it was safe to go out again and it has good parking

your local mcdonalds

I dont think it matters, if it was a war you are doomed no matter what. Contamination would be everywhere.

Best surface area that is habitable that I can think of is New Zealand...

Most anywhere on the southern hemisphere.

Since most of the nuc powers are Northern hemisphere, we can blast away at each other. But most of the South will be left alone.

antarctica, south shetland islands or somewhere like that. within the 'roaring forties' and 'furious fifties' prevailing westerly winds that circle the southern ocean (60+° S) so should be sufficiently cut off from fallout. islands tend to be around 80%-90% permanently glaciated so constant supply of fresh water. penguins, seals, fish, squid - yum! with a sufficiently sized boat, whales could be hunted for food. whale/seal/penguin fats can be used as a fuel source.
