Built-In Fallout Protection For Urban Renewal Studied
Civil engineers at the University of Connecticut study embedding fallout protection in urban projects with minimal extra cost. The 15 month project, funded by 27 175 from the Defense Department Office of Civil Defense, is led by Dr Jack E Stephens and Joseph J Breen with Willimantic and Windham officials serving as labs. The study outlines slanting features to reduce radiation exposure, such as adjusting window areas, and suggests master plans include protective design without raising renewal costs.
