ENGINEERING AND DESIGN, UTILIZATION OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS IN UNDERGROUND INSTALLATIONS

Abstract

Information is presented on the utilization of nuclear power plants in underground installations and for guidance in the design of under ground installations and it is applicable to all elements of the Corps of Engineers having this responsibility. The manual provides information on nuclear power to assist Corps of Engineers personnel in selecting the source of power for an underground installation that might be required to operate in a buttoned-up status, i.e., a completely closed and isolated situation over a period of days or weeks. The under ground installation may be utilized for missile sites, command centers, communication centers, or storage facilities.
