SPECIFICATIONS AND COSTS OF A STANDARDIZED SERIES OF FALLOUT SHELTERS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4212938
Basic performance specifications are developed to govern the design of personnel shelters to provide protection against radioactive fall-out. Consideration is also given to protection against blast, heat, and fires. Design specifications and cost estimates are prepared for a shelter based on a 25 ft by 48 ft ammunition storage magazine. Provision is made for 14-day occupancy by 100 people. The cost differentials of various choices of performance characteristics are estimated. The design is in sufficient detail to permit construction. Shelters of this type may have wide application in residential areas, industrial plants, and military installations. (auth)
