Improvement of Protection Data Base for Damage Assessment and Data Base on Shelter Needs: An Examination of the 'PV' Data from the NFSS VOLUME Ⅲ

摘要

The purpose of the research reported here is to examine the sensitivity of direct weapons effects fatality computations to the changes in structural protection indicated by the Physical Vulnerability (PV) data from the National Fallout Shelter Survey (NFSS). This examination is made as a preliminary to utilizing the PV data for existing damage assessment and vulnerability analysis routines such as those in the National Resource Evaluation Center's (NREC) Jumbo III system.
