It would be impossible to overstate how essential his insight and mentoring have been to this dissertation and my career in general. Just as important has been his camaraderie, which made the researching and writing of this dissertation infinitely more rewarding. Thanks as well to Bruce Hunt for his support. Especially helpful was his incisive feedback, which both encouraged me to think through my ideas more thoroughly, and reined me in when my writing overshot my argument. I offer my sincerest gratitude to the Smith Richardson Foundation and Yale University International Security Studies for the Predoctoral Fellowship that allowed me to do the bulk of the writing of this dissertation. Thanks also to the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy at Yale University, and John Gaddis and the incomparable Ann Carter-Drier at ISS.

The All-American race to get the swankiest survival shelter on YouTube A fallout shelter is an enclosed space specially designed to protect occupants from radioactive debris or fallout resulting from a nuclear explosion. Many such shelters were constructed as civil defense measures during the Cold War. During a nuclear explosion, matter vaporized in the resulting fireball is exposed to neutrons from the explosion, absorbs them, and becomes radioactive. When this material condenses in the rain, it forms dust and light sandy materials that resemble ground pumice. The fallout emits alpha and beta particles, as well as gamma rays. Much of this highly radioactive material falls to earth, subjecting anything within the line of sight to radiation, becoming a significant hazard. A fallout shelter is designed to allow its occupants to minimize exposure to harmful fallout until radioactivity has decayed to a safer level.

    ARIZONA NEWSLETTER DOCTORS FOR DISASTER PREPAREDNESS Mar. 1-985 (Vol. I., no. 3) 1601. N. Tucson Blvd. Suite 9 @ 1.985 by J. Orient Tucson, AZ 85716 - AUTHOR OF NUCLEAR WAR SURVIVAL SKILLS TO VISIT PHOENIX AND TUCSON Cresson Kearny will speak on the subject of "nuclear winter" and its implications for civil defense in Phoenix on February 20 and in Tucson on February 21 . Mr. Kearny, a geologist and civil engineer who recently retired from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is best known for his work in civil defense research, particularly the invention of the Kearny Fallout Meter. The KFM was featured in Dean Ing's science fiction novel Pulling Through and in Warday by Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka, a new novel depicting life in America after a "small" nuclear war. In addition, Mr. Kearny has designed blast and fallout shelters, and developed ventilation equipment. His hand-operated ventilation pump was recently built and tested in a Chinese furniture factory, during a visit to the People's Republic of China, where he exchanged civil defense information with Chinese officials. At the 4th International Seminar on Nuclear War, held in August, 1984, in Erice, Sicily, Mr. Kearny presented a paper entitled "Fire Emissions and Their Uncertainties." His critique of the assumptions in the so-called TTAPS report was published in the January 25 issue of Science, along with a rebuttal by Turco, Sagan, et al., who had to resort to misquotation. Since Science doesn't pitblish rebuttals to rebuttals, plan to hear Mr. Kearny's response in person. In Phoenix, Mr.
