Consequently, using this technique would not achieve the desired protection for basements where a significant portion of the basement wall is exposed above ground. The small shelters and tilt-up shelter provided very good protection. The lean-to and tilt-up shelters were considered difficult to construct by unskilled labor. The sit-down shelter and workbench were considered easy. Household furniture stacked in one corner of the first floor provided only a small amount of increased protection in the same corner of the basement. Engineering calculations of the bare basement were about 30% higher than corrected experimental data for roof contributions, and up to 50% lower for ground contributions. The protection factors, derived from corrected experimental data, are expected to be accurate to within a standard deviation of #+8%.

An experimental study was conducted to determine the fallout-radiation protection afforded by a residence representative of a type of construction much in favor in the Southwest: a single-story stucco and frame house with a heavy shake roof and no basement. This study was one of many such studies sponsored by Civil Effects Test Operations, Division of Biology and Medicine, U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, for the purpose of evaluating the protection presently afforded by ordinary homes and structures against the dangers of fallout radiation. The protection afforded by the home was determined by simulating a fallout-radiation field above and immediately surrounding the house and measuring the radiation level within. The radiation field was simulated by pumping a sealed Co(60) source through a long length of tubing evenly distributed over the test area. Highly sensitive dose-integrating ionization chambers were used to measure the radiation level inside the structure. The test was performed rapidly, easily, and safely. Valid statistical data were obtained even though the radiation level was of such low magnitude that it was unnecessary to evacuate any of the neighboring homes. The protection factors within the house (ratio of exposure dose rate in the open field to exposure dose rate in the structure) ranged from 2.8 to 4.4, depending on the location. The results compare favorably with those found in previous exercises under similar conditions.

An experimental study was made to determine the protection against fallout radiation provided by the Medical Research Center at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Shelter areas in the basement which could be used as emergency hospital wards were found to offer satisfactory shielding during a fallout situation. This study also added data to the nuclear energy civil effects research being conducted by the Civil Effects Test Operations, Division of Biology and Medicine, United States Atomic Energy Commission, on the radiation shielding provided by structures. A fallout radiation field was simulated by pumping a sealed Co60 source through a long length of evenly distributed tubing. Radiation measurements were made inside the Medical Center by dose-integrating ionization chambers. In general, the protection factors (ratio of open-field exposure dose rate to structure exposure dose rate) varied from 200 to 400 throughout the basement and from 12 to 20 on the first floor. Two isolated areas in the basement Indicated much higher protection factors (1400 and 4000). Since this was a large one-story structure with a flat roof, fallout on the roof would probably contribute more than 90 per cent of the total exposure dose rate at most points within the building during a fallout situation. Methods of significantly increasing the protection at most points of interest are limited to increasing the shielding material between the shelter areas and the roof or removing the contamination from the roof.
