Sheltering miles from a nuclear blast may not be enough to survive unless you know where to hide, new calculations show

• Scientists simulated a nuclear explosion about 37 times more powerful than Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
• The simulation helped them identify safe and unsafe indoor spots to shelter during a nuclear attack.
• This is the first study that shows the impact that nuclear shockwaves could have on humans indoors.

If a nuclear bomb were dropped in your city tomorrow, would you know where to take cover? Nuclear war is a terrifying thought, but for a team of researchers at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus, it's top of mind.
