Improvement of Protection Data Base For Damage Aassessment and Data Base on Shelter Needs VOLUME Ⅱ

摘要

This volume contains five studies concerned with obtaining, compiling, or analyzing fallout shelter protection data. These studies cover the following subjects: (1) a review of the residential basement data which were obtained from the 1960 U. S. Census of Housing;(2) an examination of electric power availability in the postattack period, with emphasis upon fallout protection in power plants;(3) the preparation of a procedure for extracting summary distributions of overpressure, reference intensity, and fallout arrival time and relating these to numbers of people exposed;these data are to be extracted from the Attack Environment III output tapes of the Jumbo III damage assessment system;(4) the re-evaluation, with National Fallout Shelter Survey data, ofnj an analytical model for predicting fallout protection for people as a function of their distance from the center of a city;and (5) a statistical analysis ofnNFSS data from Houston, Texas;and Durham, North Carolina, performed to determine distribution functions expressing their' shelter characteristics. These analytical representations of NFSS data are applied, in an illustrative example, to optimal allocation of improvement dollars to ventilating below ground shelters to in¬crease their capacity.
