Description PLUMBBOB - 1957 - NEVADA TEST SITE -- The reinforced concrete blast door for the dual-purpose garage and mass shelter, sponsored by the Federal Civil Defense Administration, is shown at left. The view, looking outward, shows the front part of the door, which is four feet thick and weighs about 100 tons. The massive door is mounted on a monorail (not shown). The dark tubing around the edge of the door frame is a sealing gasket, imbedded in a metal groove. When the door is shut the gasket inflates automatically to form an air-tight closure.
