Atom-Proof NORAD Command Post Nears Completion
Inside Cheyenne Mountain Colorado engineers install secret electronics to enable rapid response to any North American attack. The final phase of an 89 million dollar four year project will move NORAD operations underground by 1996, with a two hour alert and a defense network of jet interceptors, missiles and satellites. The underground complex includes a seven room hospital, dormitories, restaurants, offices and a main theater, all designed to sustain about 80 days without outside contact.
