SHIELDING CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF HARDENED STRUCTURES.
Abstract
An evaluation has been made of some of the factors to be considered in the design of hardened structures. In particular, radiation shielding requirements have been specified for various weapon sizes, distances from impact point, and blast overpressure. It has been shown that an envelope of curves can be constructed to allow the specification of shielding criteria to insure that radiation protection is commensurate with the survivability of a structure from blast effects. Also, a mathematical analysis is given of the relationship between protection factors and percent lethalities due to fallout radiation. The results described in this note should be directly applicable to the promulgation of design criteria for radiation shielding. (Author)
