I have an old army medical nuclear injury triage manual. That is the real deal. Basically, if you get sick quickly or immediately you are a goner. If you slowly get sick over three days you will recover.

I love that kind of real world usable guideline for the layman.

It is annoying to continually find modern survival info that consists of non-committal info you would tell your 7 year old daughter, like make sure you have fresh batteries, and write down the number of the Red Cross, and keep some blankets, if the nuclear blast is close by, tell someone in authority, etc.

"If you slowly get sick over three days you will recover ..." to die of cancer in a year or three. Chernobyl anyone?
