THE PHANTOM 16 NBC DISASTER SHELTER

The PHANTOM 16 is a totally self-contained 10 psi C4 structural composite stealth Hexoid underground

disaster shelter designed to protect 4-12 troops for one year off-grid. The product is assembled on site on the

customer’s concrete slab. The Phantom 16 was specifically designed and developed to protect people during

and after disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, storms, forest fires, power failures, nuclear

power plant accidents, nuclear/chemical terrorism, HEMP attacks, and full-scale protracted nuclear, chemical

and biological war. A tremendous effort has been made to think of every conceivable incident that shelterists

could face in the PHANTOM 16 shelter. Many geometrical shapes were experimented with before finalizing

the PHANTOM 16. The H10 COMMANDER includes the C4 composite hull and entranceway with a ship

stairwell, hatch, SEAM air filtration system, fiberglass septic tank, floor, counter, fiberglass shower wall, 12-

volt battery system, DC electrical system, AC electrical system, all wiring, all plumbing, etc. The generator

and inverter/battery charger are protected by tested EMP Shielded Enclosures. The PHANTOM 16 is shipped

in two pieces, the shelter and the entranceway. The Phantom is offered only in a stealth configuration.

DESIGN Patent Pending

The PHANTOM 16 "Hexoid" is a new very efficient shape for people and has no tensile loads on the hull like

flat wall or cylindrical structures. The one piece molded arch of the shelter and the rib of the shelter are

hexoid shaped with no flat surfaces to maximize shelter volume and strength. The space for humans inside is

more than 95% useful with a floor span of 16 ft. whereas a 10 ft. diameter cylinder is only 60% useful with

floor spans of approximately 7 ft. in order to provide adequate head room. The composite material in this

hexoid shape has the same strength as 1.5 inch thick solid structural steel. It is a fifth generation disaster

shelter manufactured to PRINCIPLES of PROTECTION, U.S. Handbook of NBC Weapon Fundamentals and

Shelter Engineering Standards, Sixth Edition, 2013, Brown Books, which is the United State’s bible on shelter

engineering standards. It is known in the industry as P.O.P. The PHANTOM 16 was designed using CAD

(computer aided drafting), CAE (computer aided engineering), and FEAM (3-dimensional finite element

P H A N T O M 1 6 - 4

analysis and modeling). A shelterist in the PHANTOM 16 under heavy, direct effects from two 1-MT nuclear

weapons, has at least the same probability of survival (99.7%) as a person living and working in peacetime.

The structural shape of the PHANTOM 16 allows it to be a true pressure vessel for resistance to high external

pressure. The PHANTOM 16 shelter system is based on 30+ years field experience with the Walton

McCarthy’s successful P10, RC8 and CAT 25 underground shelters.

SHELTER CONSTRUCTION

The shelter hull and entranceway are made of C4 vacuum infused carbon fiber reinforced composite

which is a proprietary formula. This C4 composite material was developed to be extremely resilient

and corrosion resistant. The 10 psi (pounds per square inch) external pressure resistance above the

static earth load, with no earth arching, is constant over the first 150 years. The composite hull also

forms a complete vapor barrier which provides a dry atmosphere when placed below ground, and it

has proven to be sound in the underground storage tank industries and the boating industry. In

addition, one of the greatest characteristics of plastic composite is its resiliency or ability to “remain

intact” if overstressed. The inside of the shelter is smooth, curved, and white to create maximum

brightness with minimal light. The floor is also smooth so it can be decontaminated, carpet is not

allowed in an NBC shelter. All of these facilities function without outside electricity through the use

of a diesel generator charging a battery bank. The inside surface of the shelter hull is easily cleaned

with common detergents and there is ample volume for food storage under the floor.

ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE -EMP

MSCG underground shelters are designed to meet MIL-STD-188-125A:" High Altitude

Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) Protection for Ground-Based C4I Facilities Performing Critical,

Time-Urgent Missions Part 1: Fixed Facilities" 17 July 1998. All mission essential equipment

(MEE) vulnerable to EMP is mounted in a tested aluminum EMP shielded enclosure. All MSCG

shelters are self-contained and not connected to the electrical grid. The only MEE equipment in the

MSCG shelters that are vulnerable to EMP are the inverter/charger, generators, sewage lift station,

and generator/battery bank controls, which are all mounted in an aluminum EMP shielded enclosure.

The EMP shielded enclosures meet QQ-A-200/8, MIL-C-7438, MIL-T-10727, and shielding

minimums of MIL-188-125. The shelter system also includes a 2 ft3 EMP vault to store other

electronic components in such as laptops, radios, TV’s, CD player etc. The golden rule for EMP

protection in underground shelters is, “DO NOT USE THE SHELTER HULL AS AN EMP SHIELD

AND DO NOT USE THE EMP SHIELD AS A SHELTER”. The major problem in making

underground shelters EMP safe is dealing with all the POEs or “points of entry’ in underground

shelter hulls that allow EMP to enter the shelter. Anything penetrating the hull such as entranceways,

emergency escape tunnels, air inlet hoses, air outlet hoses, water hoses, electrical lines, and radio

cables, etc., all need EMP shielded gaskets and/or EMP shielded air vents. Steel cannot be used as a

Faraday Cage because it is not conductive enough. Electrical conductivity is measured in

Siemens/meter (õ S/m). The minimum conductivity for a Faraday Cage to shield an EMP is 15,000,000

Siemens per meter. Steel has a conductivity of only 7,000,000 S/m so it is not conductive enough to

effectively attenuate EMP frequencies. Aluminum has a conductivity of 35,000,000 S/m and copper

60,000,000 S/m so both materials are very well suited for a Faraday Cage to effectively shield EMP. Bad

welds, corroded welds, etc. in the shelter hull are all POEs making equipment in the shelter vulnerable

to EMP. The MSCG approach to making an underground shelter EMP shielded, and a well accepted

military practice, is to assume the shelter hull is EMP transparent and shield each individual unit

vulnerable to EMP. The POEs in a shielded enclosure for a few cables are small and can be easily

shielded. Also, unlike underground shelters, EMP shielded enclosures can be tested individually.

Underground shelters with certified EMP shielded enclosures for MEE (Minimum Essential

Equipment) meet the MIL-188-125A Standard. All of the MSCG shelter models, have been reviewed

for an EMP Protection Analysis by a Certified Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineer and a

Certified Electrostatic Discharge Control Engineer and found to comply with MIL-STD-188-125A

with a shielded enclosure for MEE.

SHELTER FACILITIES

The PHANTOM 16 with four arches contains 6,300 ft3 and 680 ft2 floor space with headroom from

8'-0” to 9’-6”. This allows relatively normal living and a very spacious feeling. There is ample light

for reading anywhere in the shelter supplied by LED white lights. Fresh filtered air is brought into the

shelter by a 12-volt air blower designed to operate 24 hours per day and supplies many times the

breathing volume of air required by adults. This system has the advantage of maintaining constant

shelter temperature, constant shelter oxygen levels, constant shelter carbon dioxide levels, and

constant shelter moisture levels, plus it prevents overheating which is common with manual air

blowers in warm climates. In addition, this electric blower air supply system works with all people

including young children, people who are sick, people who are injured, people who are handicapped,

and people who are elderly who may not be able to operate a manual blower system during a disaster.

Exhausting of hot, moist, spent air is facilitated through the air ceiling exhaust to the air manifold at

ground level. This is an efficient method of exhausting spent air, especially when resisting intruder

assaults is a critical part of the shelter design.

The PHANTOM 16 uses an internal 6.5 KW diesel air cooled generator connected to a 600 gallon

double wall Entranceway Integrated Tank (EIT). The tank is serviced by a circulating pump, filter

and fill port to accept fuel, emulsifiers, and fungicides. Leak detection is visual from inside the

entranceway. The generator is housed in an aluminum/nickel EMP shielded enclosure meeting QQ-A-

200/8, MIL-C-7438, MIL-T-10727 and MIL-188-125 shielding and is an isolated enclosure. The

generator enclosure is vented through the shelter ceiling. H10 power is also useful if power is needed

to supply to another structure such as a house to be used after a disaster event. Shelter durations

shown below are based on 16 – 24 hours/day operation of the TV, DVD player, computer, radios etc.

The generator can be started by both an electric starter and manual pull start.

S.E.A.M NBC AIR FILTRATION

Patent Pending

The PHANTOM 16 has two modern NBC air filtration systems. The Severe Environment Air

Module or S.E.A.M. is a “Bag-In/Bag Out” NBC air filtration system designed for long-term

operation in severe NBC environments. The NBC filter housing is a seamless molded product

manufactured of Vipel® composite. One SEAM system supplies filtered air to the generator and one

SEAM system supplies filtered air to the shelterists. The generator SEAM supplies NBC filtered air

directly to the generator only when the generator is operating. This system allows maintenance on a

generator that is free of NBC contamination since its combustion and cooling air is NBC filtered air

which is a military requirement. In order to qualify as a long-term NBC air filtration system for more

than 30 days, the HEPA and carbon trays have to be able to be removed and replaced. The trays are

replaced using a “bag in bag out” system so there is no human contact with the contaminated filter

elements. On the front side of the filter housing is a vacuum dial gage which indicates when the filter

is operating normally and when the filters need to be changed. In the case where the shelter is located

near a nuclear air, ground, or surface burst detonation putting fallout into the atmosphere, any HEPA

filter in any air filtration system located in the shelter will become too radioactive and dangerous to

the shelterists to keep in the filter housing even though the vacuum gage may read normal. The level

of radioactivity in the filter comes from radioactive contaminants in the HEPA filter tray which can be

measured by a radiation meter by just standing in front of the access doors and holding the radiation

meter at the center of the access cover. When the reading is above 1 rad/hr., the HEPA filter should

P H A N T O M 1 6 - 4


8




be changed. Almost all of the initial fallout will have

fallen in the first 24 hours so changing the HEPA filters

should automatically be implemented after this period.

Specific procedures are found in the H10 Operator’s

Manual for replacing filter elements.

The SEAM system for life support is located

at the far end of the shelter and supplies 80-200 cfm of

fresh NBC filtered air and operates 24 hours per day.

The air filtration system consists of three stages of air

filtration. The first stage is a HEPA filter to remove

physical particles that are 0.3 microns and larger at

99.99% efficiency. The second filter tray is activated

carbon to remove radioactive iodine gas and has a

minimum residence time of .25 seconds. The third filter

tray is TEDA carbon to remove chemical warfare agents

with a minimum residence time of 0.25 seconds. Each

carbon tray weighs approximately 35 lbs and any of the

trays can be changed by one person in approximately ten

minutes. For extended Sealed Shelter Atmosphere

durations, a Lithium Hydroxide carbon scrubber tray can

be used. One Lithium Hydroxide tray will remove

enough carbon dioxide for ten people to stay in the

shelter for approximately 24 hours. The top of the NBC

filter housing has a gas agent test port to test for

chemical agents using the supplied Chemical Agent Test

Kit. A radiation survey meter is also supplied.

STORAGE

The PHANTOM 16 hull has 500 ft3 under the floor boards which can hold over 100 five gallon

buckets and hundreds of No. 10 cans and other supplies. A key feature of the PHANTOM 16 is that it

has enough floor space and efficient wall geometry to allow equipment and furniture to be placed at

the edge of the floor. Equipment that is 3 ft. wide and 6 feet high can be placed against the wall.

AIR OUTLET

The spent air containing carbon dioxide, heat, moisture, and odors exits the shelter at the ceiling of

the shelter at the opposite end to the SEAM air filtration system. The air outlet manifold contains a

stainless steel screen to prevent insects from entering the shelter.

SEISMIC JOINT

This double axis seismic joint allows the entranceway free and independent movement from the main

shelter. The entranceway can be located within the frost line, while the shelter is well below the frost

line. This creates tremendous stresses during winter months when the entranceway is forced up 0.5 -

1.25 inches due to frozen ground. The seismic joint removes these stresses by allowing vertical and

P H A N T O M 1 6 - 4

lateral movement of the entranceway to maintain structural integrity during rolling ground motion

from severe ground shock.

WATER SUPPLY

The PHANTOM 16 is designed to accept water from dedicated water well powered by the shelter

power system, not powered on the local power grid, to prevent water pump damage from a HEMP

weapon. A backup water pump can be kept in the shelter in the EMP vault. There are also optional

2500 gallon underground water tanks which supplies a six month duration for 6 people.

STANDARD HATCH AT GROUND LEVEL

The flush steel hatch at ground level can be easily concealed. The 28 inch diameter clear opening

manhole allows large people to enter the shelter quickly. The hatch cover is spring loaded to open and

requires 10 lbs. of force to pull closed. The hatch can withstand 350 mph winds and is designed to

protect the shelter from a fire reaching 1700oF for one hour while maintaining its structural integrity in

compliance to ASTM E119. Although the hatch dome is not impenetrable, it is specifically designed

to resist seven basic assaults from people trying to break into the shelter in compliance to P.O.P.

OPTIONAL MAIN HATCH AT GROUND LEVEL

45o Entranceway

The optional main entrance hatch to the

shelter is at ground level through an

aerodynamically smooth flush steel hatch with

a clear opening of 30 inches x 70 inches.

There is nothing for flying debris to hit and

the hatch can withstand 350 mph winds and is

designed to protect the shelter from a fire

reaching 1700oF for one hour while

maintaining its structural integrity in

compliance to ASTM E119.

The emergency escape hatch from the shelter is at ground level through a aerodynamically smooth

flush steel hatch with a clear opening of 28 inches in diameter. There is nothing for flying debris to

hit and the hatch can withstand 350 mph winds and is designed to protect the shelter from a fire

reaching 1700oF for one hour while maintaining its structural integrity in compliance to ASTM E119.

HATCH EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LOCK

The PHANTOM 16 hatch opens from the outside with a special mechanical key that cannot be made

from a locksmith. When the shelter is unoccupied, a mechanical hasp and padlock is used. When the

shelter is entered, the hasp and padlock are taken into the shelter. When inside the shelter, the hatch

can be closed by rotating the dog wheel and inserting a locking pin. The hatch cover is designed to

resist 5 psi negative pressure (5,000 lbs.) of uplifting force caused by the negative pressure of a

tornado or explosion and 40 psi (20,000 lbs.) of overpressure. The average time it takes for untrained

or inexperienced people to enter the shelter is approximately 5-10 seconds per person.

SHELTER DEFENSE

The PHANTOM 16 is not impenetrable but is difficult to break into while shelterists are inside.

INTRUDER ASSAULT H10 COMMANDER RESISTANCE

1. Intruder trying to break into hatch using

sledgehammer, hatchets, and guns.

Hatch and air manifold resists light hammer and

hatchet assaults

2. Intruder trying to clog the air intake/outlet to

suffocate the shelterists thus forcing them

outside.

Shelterists can open up hatch and reach over to

unclog air intake or wait in safety in the shelter for

many hours in sealed shelter atmosphere while the

intruder is exposed to the outside danger.

3. Intruder trying to suffocate shelterists by

creating fire on top of the hatch thus forcing

the shelterists outside.

The hatch and air manifold is resistant to fire up to

1700 F. and the shelterists can breathe normally

inside the shelter based on sealed shelter

atmosphere.

4. An intruder trying to run over the shelter or

hatch with an automobile or truck.

A vehicle running over the hatch will not damage

the hatch. If this vehicle becomes a threat, the

Emergency Escape System can be used.

5. An intruder trying to drown shelterists by

forcing water into the air inlet/out.

The air inlet on the hatch dome are baffled to

prevent this type of assault.

6. An intruder trying to attach rope onto the

hatch or air manifolds to damage or pull

out of ground.

The hatch is a smooth design with no projections to

easily attach to.

All attacks above Release of tear gas through hatch. Details are

reviewed in Owner’s Manual.

ENTRANCEWAYS

The PHANTOM 16 can be supplied with two types of entranceways. The standard entranceway is a 68 deg.

ship stairwell through a 28 inch clear opening steel spring loaded hatch and 36 inch diameter pipe connecting

to a 6 ft-8 in tall hexoid tunnel so a person can simply step off of the ladder and walk in the shelter. An

optional 45 deg. walk in entranceway through a 4 ft. x 7 ft. oval tunnel is also available. Both have a seismic

joint.

SEALED SHELTER ATMOSPHERE

When ground fires are present around

the hatch, the air blower should not be

turned on to bring in fresh air.

During this time, the shelterists must

breathe in a sealed shelter

atmosphere. The safe duration time is

based on a 3% carbon dioxide limit.

The time it takes for the shelter

atmosphere to reach this limit is a

function of the number of shelterists,

degree of physical activity of the

INTERNAL PRESSURE CONTROL

The PHANTOM 16 uses stainless steel blast valves to prevent

blast overpressure or underpressure from pressurizing the shelter

injuring people. The valves are located inside the shelter where

they can be easily serviced. These valves are normally open and

close from blast overpressure or negative pressure maintaining the

normal shelter atmosphere. The air inlet and outlet openings are

also sized to allow overpressure choking as a redundant system.

PLUMBING SYSTEM

Water Filter

The PHANTOM 16 is equipped with a 0.3 micron water

filter and ultraviolet sterilization for all water used at the

sink, shower, and toilet. Two of the batteries will supply

enough power to pump approximately 1000 gallons of

filtered water from the tank or water well. The fiberglass

counter contains a large stainless steel utility sink where

dishes and clothes are washed. The sink, shower, and

toilet drain into a sewage lift station which transfers

sewage up to the PHANTOM 16's septic system.

Fittings- The shelter entranceway contains two NPTF

thru-hull couplings five feet below ground level, for

plumbing and electrical connection to the water tank or

well. The entranceway also contains another four NPTF

threaded couplings one foot below ground level for bringing in antenna lines or a phone line.

Toilet- The toilet is conventional flush toilet into the sewage lift station below the floor. The sewage is

pumped up to the septic tank through an internal and external hose.

Shower- The fiberglass bathroom floor allows all water from the shower head to drain into the sewage lift

station. NBC decontamination is performed in this shower using the supplied decontamination solution and

spray bottle.

Cooking -The PHANTOM 16 includes an electric double burner cooking stove located on the kitchen counter.

RADIATION SHIELDING

The protection factor (PF) of a shelter is the ratio of a radiation dose over smooth ground which

would be received by an unprotected person, compared to the dose that would be received by a person in a

sheltered location. For example, a PF of 40 means that a person would receive l/40th the radiation in a shelter

compared to the radiation that he would receive unprotected. A PF of l00 = l/100th. This is the fraction of

radiation that a shelterist would receive from overhead (not accounting for radiation entered through the

entranceway). The PF alone should never be used to determine the radiation entering a blast shelter. The

Half Value Layer Thickness (HVL) is the material thickness required to reduce the radiation dose to half.

Earth has an HVL of 5.5 inches and concrete has an HVL of 4.7 inches will reduce the radiation dose to half.

Radiation shielding from overhead in the PHANTOM 16 is provided by 72 inches of earth at the

crown of the shelter ceiling. With a TRS (Total Rems in Shelter at the shelter center) of less than 1 rems at 10

psi (0.9 miles from GZ of a 100 KT weapon), the shelterist would be safe. This 30 day dose is based on a 100

KT surface burst to maximize radiation fallout. (See of PRINCIPLES of PROTECTION, U.S. Handbook of

NBC Weapon Fundamentals and Shelter Engineering Standards, Sixth Edition, 737 pp, 2013)

Based on the worst cancer cases (leukemia) from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims, a 10-rem

dose may increase the cancer rates from the current rate of 352/100,000 up to 355/100,000. It should be kept

in mind that the Hiroshima victims were totally unprepared and uneducated. They were malnourished and

already suffering from many diseases during a critical wartime period where food, medical supplies, and other

necessities were in short supply. In addition, they were not only exposed to heavy, acute external radiation

doses but also internal radiation doses from eating contaminated food and inhaling radioactive fallout.

Educated shelterists can avoid such damaging effects and can determine the radiation levels with a simple

radiation survey meter supplied with the PHANTOM 16 along with a chemical agent detection kit.

In the event that heavy debris falls on the hatch cover and the radios are not able to bring help to clear the

hatch, emergency escape procedures can be implemented. The PHANTOM 16 uses a manually operated

mechanical jack to force the hatch open. The 18 inch long handle will require 50 lbs downward force to

generate 16,000 pounds of uplifting force.

INSTALLATION RIGHTS

U.S. citizens have a legal right to install a shelter. Under the second amendment of the United States

Constitution, U.S. citizens are guaranteed the right to bear arms to provide protection in life threatening

situations. Tornadoes, earthquakes, nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare fall under this amendment as life

threatening forces. A disaster shelter falls under this classification as a defensive arm.

GENERAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

1. The customer signs a consulting contract with MSCG to design and supervise all phases of the shelter

project. MSCG supplies drawings and parts lists to all contractors. All contractors are paid directly by

the customer after approval from n MSCG engineer.

2. The customer hires a contractor to dig a hole with a base dimension of 50 feet long x 20 feet wide x 16

feet deep for a 4 arch shelter. The top of the hole should be larger to allow for sloped walls. The

excavation usually requires one day. If the shelter is installed in a flood zone, the shelter should be

installed by berming so the hatch is at least one foot above the 100-year flood plain or storm surge.

Berming can also be used if the shelter is installed in a location which has ledge.
