SHELTER CONFIGURATION FACTORS (ENGINEERING AND COST ANALYSES)

OSTI ID:4083976
Shelter shapes and sizes that appear to offer the best compromise for standardizing new shelter design are described. The study had the following general conditions and criteria: (1) below-ground, single-unit structures with a minimum of three feet of earth cover such as might be constructed under parks or playgrounds; this will result in radiation protection factors of 1000 or more; (2) consideration of both fallout and blast shelters; fallout shelters to be designed on a nominal live-load basis and blast shelters to be designed at 35 and 60 psi overpressure; (3) an extended shelter occupancy time and a closure capability of up to 24 hours; (4) protection against the induction of chemical, biological and radiological contaminants; and (5) single-unit capacities of 100, 500, and 1000 persons each wvith a 5-minute loading capability.
