- Abstract
- A hypothetical, but not infeasible, fire defense system for a metropolitan area under nuclear attack conditions, developed in an earlier study, is examined for operability in an assumed situation at San Jose, California. The analysis concluded that with adequate thermal hardening and citizen self-help, the system would be effective and the consequences of the attack would be minimal. Additional refinements for the basic system were developed furing the study.
