    Loyal Theorists, nowadays I seem to be thinking a lot about the future of the world. Over on my other channel, Game Theory, I've talked a lot about the franchise of Fallout. Now that we've launched Food Theory, I think it's time to cover a topic I've always wondered about - what CAN you eat after a nuclear apocalypse? What food out there is safe from the radiation that would permeate pretty much everything? Today, we're going to find out what's on the menu after nuclear fallout!

    10:43 and in Chernobyl too, but they didn't bother to do that in Bryanskaya oblast (it's in Belarus, I think). It's a neighboring region that got affected by fallout, so local rural area inhabitants have to grow potatoes to the "full" cycle (where potato skin becomes very thick) and peel it really well. And even then there's a lot more radiation than in "standard" potato. Still edible afaik.

    Thank you for this info. As a boomer when I was younger, there was no internet so it was harder to find answers. But the biggest road block was all of society. Friends and family would usually discourage you from finding answers to radiation questions. People were afraid if we talked about it then it might happen. So, nobody talked about it. Again thanks.

The more radioactive something is, the faster it decays into stable (i.e. non-radioactive) isotopes. Even just a few decades would be enough to leave everything mostly fine, and the fallout games all take place centuries after the fact.

    The thing that most bothers me about the Fallout series however is that it's been over 200 years since the nuclear exchange. And while things might not be perfectly safe, most of the radiation and fallout from the Great War will have long since been removed from the environment. Nuclear scientists believe that strontium-90 is one of the most dangerous isotopes created from a nuclear explosion, and that has a half life of 29 years. By the time of Fallout 4, 7.2 half lives have passed. That means that 99.7% of the strontium has decayed into zirconium. Radiation shouldn't be an issue really at all by that point.

      Some isotopes are still really dangerous like plutonium-239 which has a half life of 24,100 years. So no it could be plutonium-239 (unless it is stated in the fallout wiki or the game that it is strontium-90 or another isotope with a short half life) so I might not be strontium-90 which has a half life of 29 years like you said.

    • @VulcanTrekkie45

    Most radioactive debris has a half life in minutes hours or days. Its the basis for the rule of 7. The primary concern is the bio-volatile fission product daughters radioiodine and radiocesium that are the most likely byproducts of fission of Uranium 235, they are what you were talking about at the roughly 8 min 30 second mark These isotopes have half lifes long enough that it takes roughly 30-40 years to fully decay. In the Pripyat area for example the only place there is any RS and RC left is in some mycellium, they no longer find it in the fish and animals.
    So have non perishable stores, use aquaponics indoor, store bags of pre fertilized soil, and make sure you can make it 40 years and it stops being a problem.

    In Disney's animated film Atlantis: the lost empire, the expedition team are seen eating meals comprised entirely of bacon grease as it's the only food their cook (Cookie) has to serve them on the long journey. Could the various members of the Atlantis exploration party survive for the duration of their journey eating only bacon grease and remain healthy enough to continue their journey? Has there been a IRL equivelant situation? Common sense may indicate it's improbability but what does the science say?

They could even look into what, if any, single food would be best to survive on if you could only eat one thing.

      Jona Claveaux that's still just as good. It can turn harmful energy into safe energy, and we can research the composition of the mushroom to help remove ionizing radiation from place like Chernobyl and if nuclear war does break out, we could prevent long term damage

    Honestly if the topsoil is any concern to you, I’d recommend going into a basement of a nearby home (assuming you live in a place that allows basements) with a pickaxe and break that concrete flooring and doing any semblance of farming down there, and if light is a concern of yours. No worries there either, there are lights that will work to help cultivate plans within the confines of your home

      A theory is a tested hypothesis. An unsubstantiated theory is just Wild Mass Guessing.

    What the duck??? This was actually a fantastic video, well explained, and clear!
    If possible, another tip is to setup green houses or other protection mechanisms to prevent further contamination by radioactive particles from the fallout.
