Well, with all the fallout, you can escape it only by
lying on basement floor, where the path to ground surface
goes through enough ground and subterrainian (sp?) rocks
strongly dimishes the rays.

*EXCEPT* for the roof -- whatever falls up there will
radiate down at you. So you have to get rid of that
fallout.

How? With a hand-held leaf-blower -- given that you
can get *onto* the roof (quickly!, on and off).

For that, some kind of trap-door onto the roof, from
the attic, would be a help -- a big help.

Of course, the leaf-blower would have to be
gasoline-powered (meltdown means no more electric
power).


Early on, you'd go up there every hour or two, I guess,
to blow the stuff off the roof.


I would suspect that a water sprinkler on the roof would wash the dust
off easier & better and could be operated from the basement. You might
need a battery operated pump, but there is a good chance water pressure
will last longer than electricity.
