FEASIBILITY OF CITIZEN CONSTRUCTION OF EXPEDIENT FALLOUT SHELTERS

摘要

Seventeen different families or groups of individuals untrained in building techniques constructed one of the following seven alternative expedient fallout shelters:Door-Covered Trench, Log-Covered Trench, Car-Over-Trench, Above-Ground Door-Covered, Crib-Walled, Ridge-Pole, and Tilt-up Doors and Earth.nThe builders of each shelter were guided only by onepage instructions prepared for that shelter by Defense Civil Preparedness Agency. Nine of these same families or groups also built an expedient shelter-ventilating pump, following brief instructions of Defense Civil Preparedness Agency.
