Description PLUMBBOB - 1957 - NEVADA TEST SITE -- Mosler Safe Company's standard safe door and reinforced concrete vault is shown after a recent atomic test. It was designed and located for testing at a side-on overpressure of about 75 pounds per square inch. Trim on the steel door, facing ground zero, was loosened by the blast, but the operation of the massive steel closure was not impaired. Slabs of reinforced concrete, added to the sides of the steel-lined vault after the latter had been constructed, were ripped off. Mosler's vault is 11 feet high, 10 feet wide and 17 feet long. The project is part of CETG-FCDA program of continuing research on protection of vital records and valuables.
