FREE Books on Nuclear Survival
There are many books and pamphlets throughout this web site. Here are a few that deal directly with the subject of survival from nuclear fallout. Elsewhere are others on the subject of recovery and reorganization.
Some of the material is in HTML, other in .pdf, a few in both. Some elsewhere are marked LOCKED because for those we have as yet to obtain copyright permission. The key to open the locked files won't be provided until after a nuclear war but they have been archived so that they will be available..
The material comes from a variety of sources but the bulk of it has been converted to web format, (sometimes HTML and sometimes .pdf and occasionally both), by our Ark Two Librarian. For the last several years it has been an intensive labor of love on his part requiring immense effort and dedication.
Some of the material he maintains in duplicate at another site:

Manual of food quality control - radionuclides in food
This 13048 KB 133 page paper is the official USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and UN (United Nations) standard and methodology for measuring radiation in food. This is the prime authoritative document on the subject. I obtained the information through its author Edmond J. Baratta, International Expert on Radioactivity with the US Food and Drug Administration at the research facility in Winchester, Massachusetts. The document is published both by the FDA and FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization of the UN). It is both very technical and readable in its detailed description of the methodologies and processes involved. However, since it does carry a copyright, and the government charges hundreds of dollars for a copy, this file is presently sealed until after the nuclear war.
