Shelter Fire Vulnerability - Survey and Analysis of Representative Buildings

摘要

The vulnerability of fallout shelters to fires from accidental sources as well as from direct nuclear weapon effects are evaluated. This was accomplished by survey and analysis of 102 stocked shelter buildings in eleven cities chosen to give reasonable diversity in size, industrial and commercial emphasis, and geographic location. Operational guidance developed for the selection and upgrading of shelter buildings and recommended fallout shelter provisions for public building codes are established for both existing structures and new construction. Areas for future study and development are identified. (Author)
