Tom Scott

Made with BBC Brit Lab! See my video with Greg Foot over on their channel: https://youtu.be/KZ2GE2CLo34 -- I'm at http://tomscott.com/ and http://twitter.com/tomscott • This video has a correction: "ground burst" and "air burst" were reversed in the script. Ground bursts produce significantly more, and wider, fallout.

Deep in the Essex countryside lies Kelvedon Hatch, and the Secret Nuclear Bunker that's now an off-beat tourist attraction. Inside, I met up with Greg Foot from the BBC's Brit Lab, and discovered the rather optimistic 1980s plans for tracking nuclear fallout, and helping the survivors of a nuclear war... if there were any.
