This book is very different and is written for the average citizen by a former U.S. Army officer, field geologist and civil engineer who built and field-tested the "expedient" shelters described within while still employed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These shelters can be put togeather within a few hours by ordinary, untrained men and women. (It is a good idea to take a weekend and practice building them.) They provide good protection during the weeks it may take for fallout to decay to negligible levels of radioactivity. (Expedient blast shelters, which also protect against the shockwave from a nearby explosion, are also discussed. ) The author is clear and thorough throughout, supplying checklists for supplies, equipment and materials; detailed building instructions and descriptions of the genuine (as opposed to fanciful) effects of nuclear weapons. There is also a valuable discussion of the purchase and use of potassium iodide compounds for protection of the thyroid gland from absorption of radioiodine. Finally, detailed plans and instructions are provided for the construction and use of a homemade fallout meter (!) to indicate radiation levels. (It is a lot more accurate than many of the over-priced, defective-or-uncalibrated war-surplus "Geiger counters" on the market!)Скачать: Depositfiles UploadingHotfile 0 1 2 3 4 5 Contents......Page 4 Foreward......Page 6 Acknowledgements......Page 9 Introduction......Page 10 Ch1 The Dangers from Nuclear Weapons: Myth & Facts......Page 15 Ch2 Psychological Preparations......Page 24 Ch3 Warnings & Communications......Page 26 Ch4 Evacuation......Page 31 Ch5 Shelter, The Greatest Need......Page 40 Ch6 Ventilation & Cooling of Shelters......Page 54 Ch7 Protection against Fires & Carbon Monoxide......Page 65 Ch8 Water......Page 70 Ch9 Food......Page 79 Ch10 Fallout Radiation Meters......Page 98 Ch11 Light......Page 104 Ch12 Shelter Sanitation & Preventive Medicine......Page 107 Ch13 Surviving Without Doctors......Page 112 Ch14 Expedient Shelter Furnishings......Page 121 Ch15 Improvised Clothing & Protective Items......Page 129 Ch16 Minimum PreCrises Preparations......Page 136 Ch17 Permanent Family Fallout Shelters For Dual Use......Page 138 Ch18 Trans Pacific Fallout......Page 155 App A Instructions for Six Expedient Fallout Shelters......Page 159 App B How to make & use a Homemade Shelter Ventilating Pump, The KAP......Page 196 App C A Homemade Fallout Meter, the KFM-How to Make & Use It......Page 216 App D Expedient Blast Shelters......Page 245 App E: How to Make a Homemade Plywood Double Action Piston Pump & Filter......Page 262 App F Means For Providing Improved Natural Ventilation & Daylight to a Shelter with an Emergency Exit......Page 273 References......Page 277 Index......Page 279
