Abstract
There is increasing current concern about safety from nuclear hazards, including nuclear blasts and radiation. There will be greater involvement in protecting people against such hazards. A nuclear shelter is just one of many ideas to protect and shield a person from the effects of nuclear explosions. These structures can range from a deep buried rigid structure to a concrete framed box covered with soil.
