Abstract

This study examined the need for a transition of South Korea's nuclear defense strategy through a review of Sweden's nuclear protection strategies. Then, the required operational capabilities of the Korean underground nuclear shelters were derived through the Delphi technique based on decision-making theory. A group of 21 experts on military and civil protection facilities had been selected for Delphi analysis. As a result, the following required capabilities were derived: ① Shelters shall be installed within 250 meters of the evacuation time based on five-minute; ② At least 14 days of evacuation period are required at a depth of more than 15 meters (7 meters of rock); ③ The ventilation system with NBC filter and blast proof facilities are essential for the survival of evacuees; ④ Three-liters of drinking water per person, diesel emergency generators, radio, telephone, fire-fighting equipment were derived.
