Of School Area: The school is essentially a two-story aboveground structure. With a belowground basement which contains the cafeteria, kitchen, general food and building and ground storage areas. Shelter is located in the basement area. Concrete was added to the floor of the shop and industrial arts wing to provide the overhead protection to the general food and ground storage areas. By placing the cafeteria beneath the sloping stepped concrete floor of the auditorium area, the architect was able to utilize existing structural components to provide additional shelter spaces. The school has a capacity of and in an emergency can shel ter persons. The shelter area has a protection factor of more than 100.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Architecture: Fallout Shelters As an important part of the full shelter program, the Office of Civil Defense is engaged in several professional development activities for architects and engineers. Among these are: (l) the professional development of architects and engineers in fallout shelter design to evaluate existing buildings and to design shelters in new buildings, (2) operation of short courses for-the development of professional knowledge, (3) experimentation with equipment and facilities for shelters, and (4) research by organizations and universities to study problems related to shelter design. The development of the capability for protective construction among architects and engineers is the responsibility of the Architectural and Engineering Development Division of the Office of Civil Defense, which works directly with the organized professions and the schools of archi tecture and engineering Courses are offered to architects and engineers at various schools and universities throughout the country to acquaint them with the new technology of radiation shielding design and analysis. Certification by the Department of Defense as a qualified shelter analyst is granted upon successful completion of the course Those architects and engineers wishing to enroll in these courses can contact their nearest local, state or regional civil defense office for information and enrollment forms. The topic of this report deals with both the facilities of the plant and the protection of the occupants from fallout gamma radiation in the event of possible nuclear attack. By creating this protection, respon sible leaders of industry will provide this security as an extra employee benefit and also contribute to the strength and preparedness of the country. It is the architect's role both to advise the building owner and to translate his industrial program into physical reality. The architect's honest expression of the functions of various manufacturing processes produces an architecture of bold forms, clarity of structure, and integrity of materials which has become the credo of contemporary architecture. As needs become more-complex, the architect's role becomes even more vital. The industrial building is a trademark for the product, and the plant facilities are the environment which influences the efficiencies, loyalties, and attitudes of the workers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Family Fallout Shelter In anatomic war, blast, heat, and initial radiation could kill millions close to ground zero of nuclear bursts. Many more millions - everybody else - could be threatened by radioactive fallout. But most of these could be saved. The purpose of this booklet is to show how to escape death from fallout. Everyone, even those far from a likely target, would need shelter from fallout. Your Federal Government has a shelter policy based on the knowledge that most of those beyond the range of blast and heat will survive if they have adequate protection from fallout.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fallout Protection: What to Know and Do About Nuclear Attack The purpose of this booklet is to help save lives if a nuclear attack should ever come to America. The foreign and defense policies of your Government make such an attack highly un likely, and to keep it unlikely is their most important aim. It is for this reason that we have devored so large an effort to creating and maintaining our deterrent forces. However, should a nuclear attack ever occur, certain preparations could mean the difference between life and death for you. The need for preparation - for civil defense - is likely to be with us for a long time, and we mu5t suppress the temptation to reach out hastily for short-term solutions. There is no panacea for protection from nuclear attack. In a major attack upon our country, millions of people would be killed. There appears to be no practical program that would avoid large-scaleloss of life. But an effective program of civil defense could save the lives of millions who would not Otherwise survive. Fallout shelters and related preparations, for example, could greatly reduce the number of casualties. President Kennedy, speaking on July 25, 1961, put it this way: In the event of attack, the lives of those families which are not hit in the nuclear blast and fire can still be saved if they can be warned to take shelter and if that shelter is available. We owe that kind of insurance to our families and to our country. The President was talking about shelter from radioactive fallout. The blast, heat, and fire of a nuclear explosion are appallingly destructive. But radioactive fallout could spread over thousands of square miles, covering a much greater area than the area endangered by fire and blast. Fallout would be a potential killer of millions of unprotected persons, but it also is a hazard that individuals and communities can prepare for through reasonable programs and actions. A fallout shel ter program is one of these. This booklet contains information about a shelter program - what the Federal Government in tends to do, and how State and local governments, and indi vidual citizens can work together to bring it into being as a sound measure of national preparedness.

This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 990 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Structure Shielding Against Fallout Gamma Rays From Nuclear Detonations Attempts to develop satisfactory methods for estimating the shielding properties of ordinary buildings against gamma rays from radioactive fallout began in the early 1950's. Intensive research of many kinds was carried out during the decade from about 1956 to 1966; but in the past decade, there has been a steady decline of new research on these problems. There are many reasons for this, one of which is not, however, the achievement of a fully satisfactory state of the technology. An updating and improvement of the material presented here is overdue, but is not easily effected. We intend this publication to serve 1) as a reference for engineering students, 2) as a reference and source of ideas for engineers engaged in research and development on radiation shielding problems, 3) as a basic reference by architects and engineers concerned with the design of buildings with protective features, and 4) a reference for officials responsible for civil protection in nuclear emergencies. These multiple uses are expected partly because this is the first attempt to bring together and summarize much of the material presented.

Book excerpt: Why some Americans built fallout shelters—an exploration America's Cold War experience For the half-century duration of the Cold War, the fallout shelter was a curiously American preoccupation. Triggered in 1961 by a hawkish speech by John F. Kennedy, the fallout shelter controversy—"to dig or not to dig," as Business Week put it at the time—forced many Americans to grapple with deeply disturbing dilemmas that went to the very heart of their self-image about what it meant to be an American, an upstanding citizen, and a moral human being. Given the much-touted nuclear threat throughout the 1960s and the fact that 4 out of 5 Americans expressed a preference for nuclear war over living under communism, what's perhaps most striking is how few American actually built backyard shelters. Tracing the ways in which the fallout shelter became an icon of popular culture, Kenneth D. Rose also investigates the troubling issues the shelters raised: Would a post-war world even be worth living in? Would shelter construction send the Soviets a message of national resolve, or rather encourage political and military leaders to think in terms of a "winnable" war? Investigating the role of schools, television, government bureaucracies, civil defense, and literature, and rich in fascinating detail—including a detailed tour of the vast fallout shelter in Greenbriar, Virginia, built to harbor the entire United States Congress in the event of nuclear armageddon—One Nation, Underground goes to the very heart of America's Cold War experience.
