Disinfecting water by boiling (preferably for at least 10 minutes) or by treating it with chlorine or iodine has been described in Chapter 8, Water. When water is first stored, it should be disinfected by the addition of 1 scant teaspoon of ordinary household bleach for each 10 gallons. To avoid contaminating water when removing small quantities from a container such as a waterproof bag, the simplest way is first to pour some into a pot or other medium-sized container, from which small amounts can be poured into individual cups.
Dipping water with a cup runs more risk of contamination. The cleanest way to take small quantities of water out of a container is to siphon it with a flexible tube, as described in Chapter 8, Water. Sanitary storage of food in expedient shelters is often difficult. Although almost any paper or plastic covering will keep fallout particles from food, shelter dampness can cause paper containers to break. Book Page: 106 Book Page: 107 Book Page: 104 off the floor. Atomic Fireworks, 1951. Back when the Bomb was as American as hot dogs and apple pie (but after the Russians had their own), Baltimore civil defense officials put on an unusual fireworks display that wowed a crowd of 25,000. On July 4, 1951, a mock atomic bomb--complete with mushroom cloud--was exploded during an Independence Day celebration in Charm City to illustrate the significantly scaled-down effects of the weapon.
A demonstration of the planned rescue efforts of civil defense and the Red Cross followed the blast (no doubt annoying the throngs of people awaiting the "conventional" fireworks show to start). News of the event made the wire services and the puckish New York Times headlined the story, "ATOMIC TOUCH FOR 4TH. " ATOMIC TOUCH FOR 4TH 25,000 in Baltmore See 'Bomb' Display at Celebration BALTIMORE, July 4 (UP)--Some 25,000 persons at an Independence Day celebration tonight saw a mock atomic bomb exploded in a civil defense demonstration. Russian nuclear-powered lighthouses. Russian Northern coast is a vast territory lays for a few thousand of miles and all this coastline is inside the Polar Circle. Long polar winters mean no daylight at all, just one day changes another without any sign of the Sun rising above the horizon.
There is only polar night for 100 day a year. But across this Northern coast there was always a short way for the cargo boats to travel from Eastern part of Russia to the Western. Now this trip can be made fairly easy with the appearance of all the satellite navigation equipment like GPS and others, but during the Soviet Era they had none of this. So, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union decided to build a chain of lighthouses to guide ships finding their way in the dark polar night across uninhabited shores of the Soviet Russian Empire. Then, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the unattended automatic lighthouses did it job for some time, but after some time they collapsed too.
