About: Blast shelter

An Entity of Type: WikicatBuildingsAndStructuresByType, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A blast shelter is a place where people can go to protect themselves from blasts and explosions, like those from bombs, or in hazardous worksites, such as on oil and gas refineries or petrochemical facilities. It differs from a fallout shelter, in that its main purpose is to protect from shock waves and overpressure instead of from radioactive precipitation, as a fallout shelter does. It is also possible for a shelter to protect from both blasts and fallout.

  • A blast shelter is a place where people can go to protect themselves from blasts and explosions, like those from bombs, or in hazardous worksites, such as on oil and gas refineries or petrochemical facilities. It differs from a fallout shelter, in that its main purpose is to protect from shock waves and overpressure instead of from radioactive precipitation, as a fallout shelter does. It is also possible for a shelter to protect from both blasts and fallout. Blast shelters are a vital form of protection from nuclear attacks and are employed in civil defense. There are above-ground, below-ground, dedicated, dual-purpose, and potential blast shelters. Dedicated blast shelters are built specifically for the purpose of blast protection (see bunker). Dual-purpose blast shelters are existing structures with blast-protective properties that have been modified to accommodate people seeking protection from blasts. Potential blast shelters are existing structures or geological features exhibiting blast-protective properties that have potential to be used for protection from blasts. (en)
  • Un refugio contra explosiones es un lugar al que la gente puede ir para protegerse de las explosiones de bombas y diversos proyectiles. Se diferencia del , en que su principal propósito es el de proteger contras las ondas de choque y las altas presiones, en lugar de la precipitación radiactiva. Actualmente es posible que un refugio proteja de las ondas de choque y la contaminación radiactiva. (es)
