Art Two reminders on nuclear radiation

State Maps and Information for
Nuclear Survival
(Updated as of October 1st, 2002)

For the last several years, these pages USED TO include a list of hundreds of (Email VERIFIED) Intentional Communities and Survival Preparedness Groups along with an Ark Two state TEAM Leader in forty-eight of the 50 States.

Because of the changing circumstances that some see as the increasing immediacy of the threat, and because of a perception that there has been a recent change in the social / governmental attitude towards individual rights regarding freedom and property there has been a growing consensus among the individuals that were listed here that it is no longer prudent for them to make their names and locations public. It has become too arduous to maintain the list in response to the growing number of requests for deletion, and the fact that the list was going to become too skimpy to be useful has now led us to have to regrettably abandon it altogether after these many years of effort spent to assemble it.

While for years we have encouraged people to form survival communities and groups and to build shelters and otherwise make preparation - most of those who have done so are of the opinion that there may not any longer be sufficient time to integrate further members into their groups and communities. They are concerned that if the threat situation continues to increase, at the rate that it presently is, they will be overwhelmed by individuals who are not prepared and that those individuals instead of adding to their resources would only be a drag and potential for depletion to what they have prepared.

It is with regret that we have come to this point. Ark Two itself still welcomes any who wish to join its community in Canada AND we are still maintaining the structure of these pages AND THE REGISTRY so that in case of a nuclear war we may be able to implement these structures for providing assistance during the RECOVERY and REORGANIZATION phases. We hope at that time to be able to re-establish contact with, or appoint new, TEAM leaders in all the states and localities and then provide a network for developing assistance and cooperation among them.

Because we are so often asked about nuclear reactor sites we have taken the following picture from Stan and Holly Deyo showing U.S. Nuclear Reactor Sites in relation to earthquake zones.

British planners feared tea shortage after nuclear attack

Never mind the radiation: British contingency planners are worried there would be a dramatic shortage of tea in the aftermath of a nuclear attack, recently declassified documents showed.

The shortfall of the staple British beverage would be "very serious" if the country were to come under attack with atomic and hydrogen bombs, according to a memo drafted between 1954 and 1956.

"The tea position would be very serious with a loss of 75 per cent of stocks and substantial delays in imports, and with no system of rationing it would be wrong to consider that even 28 grams per head per week could be ensured," it said.

"No satisfactory solution has yet been found."

Another memo, written in April 1955, warned: "The advent of thermo-nuclear weapons... has presented us with a new and much more difficult set of food defence problems."

The contingency planning documents listed a number of issues for discussion including arrangements to ensure stockpiles of food and the availability of bread, milk, meat, oils and fats, and tea and sugar.

The memos were among a number of documents released by the National Archives.
