DESIGN MODIFICATIONS AND 1962 COST ANALYSIS FOR A STANDARDIZED SERIES OF FALLOUT SHELTERS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4751508
Major emphasis is on recent design modifications and 1962 cost estimates for the personnel fallout shelters described in USNRDL-TR-366, Specifications and Costs of a Standardized Series of Fallout Shelters (1959). The shelter is designed to accommodate at least 100 persons for 14 days. It is believed that the shelter will provide the specified fallout and blast protection, the required interior environment, and the essential hotel-type equipment at minimum cost. The shelter items are specified by several packages, each having one or more different arrangements of items, depending on the degrees of protection and comfort desired. The proper selection of packages will result either in a 35-psi or 10-psi blast and fallout shelter sited above or below grade. The radiation protection factor is at least 1000. Most austere to least austere living accommodations can be selected. Average cost data for the packages by item are tabulated for quantities up to 1000. Respective costs for four complete shelters, combinations of most austere and least austere with 35-psi and 10-psi, have been estimated and are presented graphically. Costs for shelter quantities were estimated by means of learning curves. The costs range from ,800 for the least-austere 35-psi shelter to ,200 for the most-austere 10-psi shelter. The design modifications are based on findings of the USNRDL Shelter Research Program for the period, 1959 to June 1962. Drawings are included. (auth)
