Contaminant Resistance of Buildings in Emergency Planning Zones

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article defines a theoretical basic research of possibilities to increase resistance of buildings in the zones of emergency planning of nuclear power stations and chemical facilities. It presents the key measure of population protection, of a repressive character, which is a provisional sheltering based on using natural safety attributes of buildings. Depending on this measure it defines basic physical attributes of building materials and technical requirements for buildings located in emergency planning zones. The end of the contribution presents possible ways to evaluate safety attributes of buildings in terms of permeability of radioactive and chemical substances.
