Blonds Have Best Chance To Survive Atomic Heat
An American Air Force bioclimatology researcher Dr Konrad Buettner reports that skin color strongly affects survival in intense heat from a nuclear explosion. He finds light skin reflects more heat and a white or light surface offers better protection, while dark skin absorbs more heat, increasing burn severity. The study notes that radiation and blast effects are nearly instantaneous, with brief exposure potentially survivable only if shielded and not too close to the blast.
