Every once in a while you see somebody referring to a “Nuclear Bomb Shelter”.

Nope. Well, maybe Cheyenne Mountain.

There are only *Fallout* shelters

Yeah, no sense in building anything that needs to withstand 43KT of tnt. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory just uploaded a 43KT shot today. It was beautiful and terrible all in the same frame. Turk

We done got bomb shelters built here dug into in the mountains in the 1950`s during civil defense exercises against Russian nuclear attack, still in use today.
What you talkin` about?

Evidently it would appear that somebody won`t find it on the internet coz there was no internet then and those people that built them kept it a secret and they is dead and gone by now exceptin` some of us stll got the bomb shelters intact and ready. Um I was there when they built`em. We wuz trained during the GOC ground Observer Corps to spot bears Bombers USSR comin` over and we wuz required to build and stock these bomb shelters, NOT “fallout shelters.” They was designed to withstand an atomic burst close by coz they is solid concrete into the mountain and it`s only 200 yards from my house. You ain`t gonna find`em on the internet nor nowhere coz it was during the Cold war and nobody told nobody where they was.

There is one in California I know of also was still there in the 1980`s in a suburb of SF, built underground to withstand a nuclear burst close by. I saw it up close. YUPYUP YUP you won`t find that one on the net neither...
We also got us a nuclear sub pen here built into the side of the mountain 3 miles deep against a nuclear blast. Been there don that too.

I have a shelter under my back yard. It is entirely steel plate. It is both welded and in some places riveted.

Riveted. Like the Titanic!

Some folks scoff and say it is a tornado shelter. It is not.

My shelter, built in the mid 1960s, has a full 3 feet of earth between the surface and the ceiling.

Also, it has a foyer at the bottom of the stairwell with a 90 degree turn into the main room, because radiation does not go around corners, it was believed at the time.

Pretty sure that is still the case.
