Industrial Hardening: 1980 Technical Report.

Abstract

This report presents the results of the third phase of a program to continue the development and testing of an Industrial Hardening Manual. The purpose of this manual is to enable U.S. industry to reduce its vulnerability to disaster, either nuclear or natural. The manual is intended to provide industry with a self-help guide for implementing industrial protection, which includes methods to enable a facility to resist fire, nuclear weapons effects, and natural disaster damage to vital equipment. Phase I of the program resulted in the development of a working draft. Phase II included tests of the manual in industry, and research to develop improved hardening techniques. Phase III, the subject of this report, included revision of the manual based on the demonstrations and tests from Phase II, analytical work on equipment vulnerability and protection, structural analysis, scale-model shock tube tests, and hardening demonstration in industry. Effort was also devoted to the identification of potential inducements that would stimulate industry to preplan and prepare for emergencies. (Author)
