You are to invent a water purifier since you are not allowed to go out of the cave because if you do you will be exposed to radioactive materials brought by the explosion of a big nuclear plant..So what will you do to purify the water in the cave or tunnel?

I would take a 55 gal. drum and poke holes in the bottom.
Then I would put layers of material (in order) in the drum: small rocks, cloth (single layer - cottons best), sand, cloth (single layer), charcoal, cloth (single layer), sand, small rocks.
Fill the barrel at least half way up with these layers.
Making sure to have several inches of charcoal.
Fill with water.
Catch what runs out.
You could also do this with charcoal and dirt, charcoal and straw, etc.

buy a water filter and ask the workers from the nuclear plant to deliver it to me
