DETERMINATION OF SHELTER CONFIGURATION FOR VENTILATION
Abstract
In Phase 1 of the National Fallout Shelter Survey (NFSS), all buildings in the United States, except single family dwellings, thought to have a protection factor (PF) of 20 or more and space to shelter 50 or more people were surveyed. Based on the results of the Phase 1 survey, contractors subsequently in Phase 2 of the NFSS evaluated designated facilities to determine the feasibility and cost of: (1) increasing shielding to provide a prescribed minimum protection factor; (2) improving habitability to meet minimum specifications; and (3) increasing shelter capacity. Shelters deemed acceptable also were marked with fallout shelter signs in Phase 2. Approximately 73 million shelter spaces had been marked by April, 1965.
