EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF FALLOUT SHELTER VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

1965
Abstract : The results of two years' field testing of fallout shelters is reported herein. Simulated occupants (Simocs) and forced flow conditioned air were used to duplicate emergency environmental conditions. Nine tests have previously been documented in detailed Interim Reports. Based on field measurements of temperature, humidity and heat flux, and

COOLING WATER FOR FALLOUT SHELTERS

1966
Abstract : The objective of the research was to determine the feasibility of prospecting for, tapping, and recovering ground water, working from within fallout shelter boundaries, for use as a shelter ventilating air coolant. A literature search was made into the background of established techniques of soil penetration and well construction, with ...

VENTILATION OF FALLOUT SHELTERS BY INDUCED DRAFT

1965
Abstract : Occupants of family-type fallout shelters require fresh ventilation air at the minimum survival rate of 3 cfm per person. Because cost limitations exclude the use of auxiliary power plants (diesel or gasoline engines) to operate ventilating fans or blowers, an inexpensive, simple, and effective method of supplying fresh air to home shelters ...

FIRE SAFETY UPGRADING FOR FALLOUT SHELTERS IN BUILDINGS

1964
Abstract : The report suggests methods, mainly untried, for upgrading on an emergency basis the fire safety of existing fallout shelter buildings. The methods suggested are not substitutes for normal peacetime protection which may be: (1) hard to implement, (2) too costly, or (3) incompatible with flexibility of building operations. The report is based
