That would depend on the anticipated level of fallout, which depends on expected proximity from targets and weather conditions. Use of leaded concrete would reduce the required thickness, as lead attenuates gamma rays stronger than concrete alone..

Can you stop nuclear fallout?

Since fallout is created when a nuclear explosion lifts dirt and debris particles into the air and irradiates them, there is no way to 'stop' nuclear fallout from occurring except by never exploding a nuclear weapon on or near the ground. You CAN stop nuclear fallout from reaching you, though, if you have a good strong shelter that is lined with enough dirt or sand (or thick walls and ceilings using many feet of metal and/or concrete), etc.


How thick did the walls have to be in a fallout shelter?

The thickness of the walls in a fallout shelter typically ranged from 2 to 4 feet. This thickness was necessary to provide adequate protection from radiation exposure in the event of a nuclear blast. Thicker walls could offer better protection, but they also required more construction materials and space.

What were World War 2 air raid shelters made out of?

There were various types of shelter constructed. The most popular was the Anderson shelter which consisted of curved sections of corrugated tin bolted together and half buried. The top was covered with a thick layer of earth. They were very strong but couldn't stand a direct hit. Larger shelters were often constructed from concrete and brick though deep shelters used at military sites along the south coast were dug from the chalk cliffs and then lined with corrugated tin. Another type of shelter (IIRC the Morrison shelter) was a steel table that you could shelter underneath indoors that would protect against falling debris.


What do you do when a nuclear bomb explodes?
