Time, Distance, Shielding


There are four factors that determine the amount of radiation reaching your body from fallout:

1. The time that has passed since the explosion.
2. The length of time you are exposed to fallout.
3. The distance you are from ground zero.
4. The shielding between you and the fallout.
