Depending on how deep that well is it might be free from contamination. But what about the sump pump? Usually there is something electrical that is pumping that water up.

Also can you access the pump (to fix if something happens to it, whether from EMP or simple malfunction) from your home or a bunker? Is it hand pumped? Is it the old fashioned bucket on a rope? Do you still have to treat it (the reservoir) every few years?


Essentially water never really “goes bad” but over time even plastic from water bottles can leech into it, same with radiation. Though if pipes run up to the surface the water In Those pipes can be irradiated, and then spread down. I highly encourage you to look into gamma radiation detectors, they can be pricey ($500-$?????)
Here’s a cheaper one on amazon though I personally wouldn’t trust this one with my life or the lives of those I care about.

but they can literally save your life. Also look into potassium Iodide, it’s a gamma blocker though for it to be effective you must take it and allow some time for it to get into your system before you absorb a decent amount of gamma.

The Wake By Paul Kingsnorth has a great illustration of the drift in language over centuries. The book is in english, but it's primitive old english and is nearly incomprehensible until you adapt to the language

I could see it being like the Hyrule Historia

That particular bit is from the book "Chernobyl Notebook" by Grigoriy Medvedev. (Amazon) Kind of dry sometimes, but horribly fascinating.

Although in the genre, "Atomic Accidents" by James Mahaffey (Amazon) is a somewhat more engaging read, though isn't quite as powerful.

Both are written by nuclear engineers and are mostly apolitical.

It is a play on the Anarchist's Cookbook, but the Anarchist's Cookbook is not banned. Here it is on Amazon.

Be warned; it was written and edited by an edgy teenager and contains so much bad information it has been accused of being a FBI plant to make potential terrorists blow themselves up before they become a problem. Among other things, it claims you can get high by smoking banana peels and contains instructions to boil gasoline over an open flame.

Back in 2007 or so I was involved in an effort to compile a version with the bad information edited out or corrected. You may be able to find a .pdf of our edit floating around older forums under the title "the anarchest cookbook".
