-Why did some people -!in places like Wisconsin build -fallout shelters -during the Cold War, -far from what were considered -main targets? 
-In the mid 1950s, -the Castle Bravo hydrogen -bomb test highlighted  -that fallout -was a much bigger problem -than previously realized. 
-Atomic Energy -Commission officials -admitted to Congress -that radioactive -fallout from the test covered -some 7000mi'. 
-Hundreds of people -in the Marshall Islands -region were impacted, -!including a Japanese fisherman -whose death was related -to acute radiation exposure. 
-For the American public, -the fallout disaster -!made it clear that evacuating  -target cities or living -far away from such targets, -were wholly inadequate plans. 
-Almost the entire country -could be at risk. 
-The government response -was to encourage citizens -to build fallout shelters. 
-The idea was to ride out -the radioactivity -in your shelter -for a period of time, -until the radiation -fell to acceptable levels. 
-Very few people -!actually built fallout shelters, -but their presence in places -like Neenah, Wisconsin, -is a reminder -of the very real anxieties -over nuclear Armageddon -during the Cold War.
