EP15: News, Missiles, and Radioactive Shrimp

Some interesting Cold War related stories that came across my desk this week. Some scary and some strange, but I hope all will be thought provoking and interesting. We begin with a retro look at some British Cold War civil defense advice, touch on the current state of North Korea, and end with a look under the sea at some radioactive shrimp.

The original “Protect and Survive” booklet distributed by the Home Office, UK.

A lucky sat image of the North Korean missile launch.

One of the deep sea creatures from the Carbon 14 study. Here’s a link to the rather dumbed-down Smithsonian article: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/particles-cold-war-nuclear-bomb-testing-found-amphipods-mariana-trench-180972078/
