NUCLEAR ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE PROTECTIVE MEASURES APPLIED TO A TYPICAL COMMUNICATIONS SHELTER

Abstract

A detailed study of a typical communication facility has been made to determine the requirements for the installation of nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP) protection measures. Necessary hardening measures have been determined on the basis of a single point failure analysis and the assignment of priorities to the various systems and components encountered. Protective devices have been applied to power control and signal lines entering and within the complex as well as to electrically powered life support systems. NEMP hardening techniques and methods have been applied to non-electrical shelter penetrations as necessary and other applicable areas within the facility such as non-strategic lines, grounding systems, and cable routing.
