State-of-the-Art Assessment -- Shelter Habitability.
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to assess the state-of-the-art of shelter habitability research, to describe nuclear weapons effects and mitigation techniques, to summarize current civil defense programs and policies, and to identify future research needs related to shelter habitability. The work consisted of an extensive review of civil defense literature, a review of non-civil defense literature through computer searches, and personnel communications with individual researchers. The information obtained was summarized into a state-of-the-art assessment of research related to shelter habitability. General conclusions were listed to identify areas where there is general agreement among researchers. Recommendations for further study were made for areas where there is disagreement among researchers and where there are important unanswered questions. (Author)
