A nuclear fall out shelter is anywhere you can hide from the effects of a nuclear detonation. When a nuclear device is detonated above the ground it causes debris to be tossed into the troposphere and sometime stratosphere. This then falls back to earth as radioactive particles. A fall out shelter usually has three feet of soil above it to absorb the gamma radiation that is emitted from these particles. In most cases the radioactive particles dissipate quickly and people have to only be in a fallout shelter for a few weeks. Underground shelters also act against blast and thermal radiation (heat radiation) from a nuclear detonation. http://www.waverage.com has more about this.
