Civil Defense Shelter Options: Deliberate Shelters. Volume 1

Abstract

The ability of specific shelter structures to provide protection for personnel subjected to nuclear weapon environments is investigated and respective sheltering costs are estimated. Specific structures considered and costs for several defined sheltering options are given, and the capability of these shelters in providing protection relative to a range of weapon environments is presented. The bases for these predictions are described.
