or a cal headquarters the refuge head-
quarters would be a me story ld stone structure at ground level. In
the basic medical support items as
a health physics lab?ratory, This combination infirmery and
health physics laboratory could very easily be housed in a structure suCh
as this with a floor space of approximately 2000 square feet. This would
include storage space as yell as actual ?pending apogee.
It is suggeeted be this departeent that a mall amount of s
the basement of one of the other buildings be allotted for the purpo
of housing small laboratory anieals, The amount of space for the lab-
oratory animals should be in the vacinity of 300 square feet of sPace.
It is expected that teis space no allotted 'meld be used tor animals, 1,e,,
guinea pigs and rabbits for various laboratory' testae that might be indie
eated to support the refuge in case of biological or radiological warfare,

It is not anticipated by this department that any carn2a1ttos from
the atomic blast will be treated directly at thie point so that the
annunt of sp f
ace for infirmary facilities would not exceed that required
under normal circumstances for a community of 600 persons,
A four bed ward attached to a standard treatment room would serve
this purpose adequately,
If the refuge haadquate is so des ed that
two *enters in close, proximity, a small treatment ro
could be placed in the secondary headqearters area,
fall upon the in headquartere area for medical ?upport.
The remaining portion of the infirmary in the main headquartere area
should be allotted to .a health physics laboratory, Although this labors
tory will not serve in any direct capacity with respect to headquarters,
It will serve directly in the health physics aspects of (1) the decontami
nation center and (2) the five collecting points on the periphery of Washe
ington.

With respect to medical eupport at the refuge hedqnior, there *re
three distinct functions cite&

( the medical support of an added 400 pereona 4d
( the medical and health physics ?upport of the five
collecting points, the decontamination center and the
refuge headquarters following the atomic blast.
In support of the first function, the infirmaryshould have rn hand

In support of the second function at the reOuge headquarters it
would be only necessary to aultiply the item in List no. 8 by a factor
of 3.0 and arrive at a figure that adequately eupports a ootslunity of
600 persons on an outpatient basin.
In support of the third fUnetion at the range headquarters, it is
assumed that supplies of medicines surgical equipment and radiation moni.

depot for such equipment for the five collecting points and the decontami
