Best Shelter for Critical Industry Workers.

Abstract

A case study was made of the Knoxville-Knox County industrial area to determine the best methods for sheltering workers in critical industries which would continue to operate during a nuclear confrontation which had escalated to an urban evacuation. The alternatives by order of cost effectiveness are: (1) Tactical evacuation; (2) Expedient construction of covered trench blast shelters; (3) Expedient modification of existing structures; (4) Pre-crisis construction of blast shelters. Recommendations to implement the alternatives include: pilot studies of tactical evacuation, improvement of expedient blast shelter construction and modification instructions. (Author)
