Abstract:

The project entailed the investigation and cost analyses of atmosphere control techniques for use in a closed underground fallout shelter. Internally located, self-contained environmental control systems are required for shelter atmosphere control whenever the presence of nearby outside fires precludes the supply of outside air to the shelter. Environmental control systems which were evaluated included all conceivable types of oxygen supply, carbon dioxide and toxic constituent removal, and temperature and humidity control. The project was divided into four principal categories as follows 1 study of mans physiological environmental requirements, 2 engineering evaluation and analysis of all conceivable systems, 3 experimental investigations of candidate systems, 4 application study for selection of the appropriate system for particular shelter types.
