Slanting for Combined Nuclear Weapons Effects: Fire Hazard Reduction
The report demonstrates the extent to which architects and engineers can modify their usual building designs (slanting), thereby providing protection for people taking shelter in the building, against fire hazard during a nuclear weapon attack. The method chosen to reach this goal has been to describe in some detail the nature of the hazard - as far as it is presently known - and then to set forth how the threat may be lessened to the best of present understanding. This means that the report may be used as a prototype guide for architects and engineers wishing to learn about the fire threat accompanying a nuclear weapon detonation and to do something to minimize it. Topics discussed are: locating buildings to reduce the potential for firespread among them; biological hazards associated with fires; certain building design countermeasures against fire hazards; and self-help measures to be taken by shelterees.
