Book excerpt: The manual discusses radiation shielding as it applies to the preliminary designing of protection against fallout gamma radiation in new construction. The architectural principles of shielding are discussed at length and designing examples are given. Planning charts are presented whereby material weights can be selected on a preliminary basis to provide shielding which will satisfy the Office of Civil Defense requirements for Community Shelters. Environmental control, shelter supply, and management factors are not discussed as they are auxiliary to the problem of the provision of radiation protection. It is anticipated that the preliminary architectural schemes developed through the use of this manual will be verified by skilled analysts before final designs are completed. (Author).

Book excerpt: The report is a discussion of the technical assumptions underlying the methods currently recommended by the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) for calculating protection afforded by structures against fallout radiation.It discusses methods for calculating the contributions from radioactive sources on the roof and on the ground surrounding a simple one-storied building.It shows in detail how each technical chart in the OCD Professional Manual is derived from basic data on radiation penetration developed by Dr. L. V. Spencer.Charts from the Professional Manual and relevant curves from Spencer's work are included.(Author).

This book was released on 1962 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental study designed to provide a basis for estimating protection against fallout radiation was conducted on four diversified structures in the Los Angeles, Calif., area. This study was sponsored by the Civil Effects Test Operations (CETO), Division of Biology and Medicine, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The four buildings studied were (1) the Laboratory of Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Biology at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA); (2) a family fallout shelter; (3) the communications section of the Los Angeles Police Department building; and (4) a typical classroom located at North Hollywood High School. A fallout radiation field was simulated by the Mobile Radiological Measuring Unit. The unit employed a single radioactive Co(exp 60) source, which was pumped at a uniform speed through a long length of tubing evenly distributed over the area of interest. Measurements of the radiation levels at selected points inside the structures were made with highly sensitive ionization- chamber detectors. Protection factors ranged from 10 to 2000 in the UCLA building, up to 10,000 in the family fallout shelter, from 50 to 150 in the communications section of the police building, and from less than 10 to approximately 20 in the high school classroom.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the proposed preliminary designs of two gymnasiums with respect to gamma radiation shielding due to radioactive fallout. For each building a determination is made of the protection offered from radiation fallout. If the degree of protection is below the minimum value set by the Office of Civil Defense for public shelters, structural modifications are suggested that will raise the protection to an acceptable level. Where changes are recommended, comparisons are made showing the differences in cost per square foot of floor space. Both gymnasiums are part of new high schools being built locally, and in both cases, no initial effort was made by the architects to provide shelter space. Gymnasium-1 is found to contain no shelter area, but by modifying the floor construction, shelter space can be provided for 400 people. The changes suggested for this gymnasium would decrease the total construction costs by $10,000, or about 28 cents per square foot of total floor space. Gymnasium-2 has an initial potential shelter space for 1052 people and by modifying the exterior walls, the number of spaces can be increased to 1565 spaces with a total increase in cost of $2780, or about 4.6 cents per square foot of total floor space.
