Can a Fridge Save You? Myths about Nuclear Bomb 

In the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Indiana Jones survived a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge. However, in the event of a real nuclear explosion, can a fridge save you?
To answer this question, we need to consider both the source and the shelter. There have been many myths about nuclear bomb, one of which is that all bombs are created equal. However, there are actually two distinct types of nuclear bombs - fission bomb and fusion bomb.
The distance from ground zero is also a determining factor because energy released through blast wave, thermal and ionizing radiation dissipate across distance. Similar to the movie, a fridge was nuked in a nuclear test in the 1950s. It was also in a fake town with mannequins in Nevada.
Could a fridge 1.4km away survive a nuclear blast? What would happen to the food or a person inside the fridge? Watch now as we debunk the myths with facts based on a nuclear test report from the 1950s.
