Abstract
-
The study predicts the survivability of people located in conventional buildings when subjected to the direct effects of megaton range nuclear weapons. Casualty-producing effects considered include 1 dynamic pressures of blast waves and 2 debris. The purpose of results is to categorize and rank casualty mechanisms and on this basis identify shelter spaces which are most likely to offer protection against them. Related topics include a classification of shelter spaces, analysis of a fallout shelter against the effects of blast, feasibility of using large limestone mines as shelters and the analysis of an emergency operating center against the direct effects of nuclear weapons.
