ANALYSIS OF SURVEY DATA, PART 1

Abstract

This report is separated into two parts. Part I report the analysis of data collection and protection factor (PF) computational procedures used in the National Fallout Shelter Survey (NFSS), under OCD Sub-task 1115A, Analysis of Survey Data. Part II contains sixteen appendices (A-P) to the chapters of Part I of the final report for OCD Sub-task 1115A, Analysis of Survey Data. These appendices contain details of computer programs used in categorization of structures with respect to technical shielding characteristics and resultant tabulations; details of the RTI 33 NFSS Phase 1 building sample selection method; and illustration of procedures used in identifying building elements critical to PF computations; RTI computational method and forms used in making Engineering Manual PF calculations for the 33 sample buildings; descriptions of the 33 buildings, the five PF results and analyses of individual building input and procedural differences judged to have affected the PF differences; construction details of four buildings used in comparing experimental and calculated PF's; trapped potable water field data gathered in the 33 building survey; detailed analyses of Technical Operations Research reports that affect the procedures used to calculate PF's (L-N); and detailed recommended modifications to the NBS-NFSS Computer Program.
