UNDERGROUND FACTORY for making pre-
cision instruments, in use by the Brunson Instru-
ment Co. of Kansas City, Mo., since I860, affords
protection against fallout and all but a direct
nuclear hit. The plant, built within a limestone
bluff, also virtually eliminates vibration, dust and
noise which are hazards to instrument making.
The firm has stocked the plant to shelter up to
3,340 persons from fallout after a nuclear attack.
It could be modified to shelter up to 7,000 persons.
'Insurance' for Survival
Industries Take Steps to Meet Nutlear Threat
American industry continues
to beef up its facilities and train-
ing programs to be prepared to
survive and recover from the
worst an enemy could throw at
this Nation.
Accustomed to insuring against
ordinary hazards, the managers
of many industrial and commer-
cial enterprises in this country
have taken measures to assure
that their company and its em-
ployees could also survive even
a nuclear attack and recover
from the disaster. Most unions
have enthusiastically supported
such emergency preparations._
These measures are as varied
as the American economy itself.
Mostly, however, they fall into
several categories:
• Fire fighting and disaster
control to meet peacetime dis-
asters and wartime damage on
the fringe of a target area or in
a zone affected by fallout.
• Shelters from fallout and
sometimes blast for employees
while at work. Frequently, civil
defense survival information for
employees’ home use is provided.
• Secure locations, usually
underground or in remote areas,
for key personnel and records
to assure that the company could
continue after an attack and not
suffer “corporate amnesia”
caused by destruction of vital
records.
Banks and insurance com-
panies have been especially ac-
tive among businesses in mod-
ernizing their records preserva-
tion procedures because of their
utter dependence on records. An
outstanding example is the In-
dustrial Bank of Rhode Island,
which built outside Providence
an underground, self-contained,
nuclear blast-resistant center to
house its vital records and the
computer for its centralized ac-
counting system.
SHELTER AREA for employees of the Rohm & Haas Co. at
Bristol, Pa., provides both blast and fallout protection for all of
the plant’s workers. This is one of the underground shelters built
by the chemical and plastics firm at its four plants in Pennsyl-
vania, Texas and Tennessee to accommodate all its workers and
assure itself an experienced labor force after a nuclear attack.
TOWN BENEFACTOR Kenneth W. Pollock (right) of Fort Scott,
Kan., emerges from the basement fallout shelter area of the
city building where extra ventilating equipment (see vents in
background) made it possible to protect about 1,000 persons—
many more than could be accommodated otherwise. Using data
on the best available local shelter areas in existing structures
provided by the Defense Department’s National Fallout Shelter
Survey, Pollock has spent about $18,000 so far to improve shelters
for 6,600, and will go to $50,000 if necessary to improve fallout
shelters for the town’s 10,000 inhabitants. Money for the project
comes from the charity fund of Key Work Clothes, Inc., a local
firm which Pollock heads. (Photo by Bill Snead, Topeka Capital-Journal)
DAIRY COWS graze contentedly outside the entrance to an un-
derground livestock shelter near Elkhorn, Neb., which was built
by J. Gordon Roberts, president of Roberts Dairy of Omaha, to
protect 200 Guernsey cows and three bulls from a nuclear attack.
His dairy farm is only about 25 miles from Strategic Air Com-
mand headquarters near Omaha. In peacetime, the $35,000 shelter
Is used as a “loafing shed” for the cows to get out of the sun.
Roberts, who has also built shelters for his family and employees,
says he built the livestock shelter because “the American dairy
cow is one of the best in the world. It took 300 years to produce
this type of animal. It makes sense to preserve it if we can.”
EMPLOYEE SHELTER built by the Marotta (below) of the self-contained shelter is stocked
Valve Corp. of Boonton, N. J., under the home with a 30-day supply of all necessities for 100
(top) of its president is often cited by civil de- persons. All of the company’s nearly 200 em-
fense authorities as an example of what a ployees could be sheltered in the private struc-
smaller firm can do to protect itself and its ture within six minutes after warning of a pos-
workers in the nuclear age. The main room sible attack was received in the nearby plant.
