Abstract
-
The objective of this study was to develop data on shelter concepts, costs and protective capabilities of single-purpose shelters capable of deployment in urban andor peripheral regions. Two categories of shelter structures were considered, permanent and expedient. The former are those shelters requiring specialized skills, equipment, communication and supply routes, etc. the latter are capable of being constructed rapidly by unskilled or semiskilled labor, using little or no specialized equipment. The effort was primarily concerned with permanent shelters. Each structure type was designed and costed for three shelter locations relative to the ground surface, six habitability options and four nuclear weapons environments characterized by fallout radiation alone, and 10, 20 and 30 psi free field overpressure and associated effects resulting from megaton range nuclear weapons. A total of 864 shelter cost options are presented. A cost investigation of basement shelters is included.
