How long should i remain inside after a nuclear explosion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safer after 2 weeks: At least 48 hours. Safer after two weeks. The 7-10 rule says there is 10% of the radiation after 7 hours have passed, 1% of the radiation after 49 hours have passed, and 0.1% of the radiation after 343 hours (2 weeks) have passed.
