Using the buttons on the left, you may also browse the Atlas's artworks and scholarly essays, access geolocated material on a map, and learn more about contributors to the project. In addition to the stages of the production process, you may view in sequence the positivist, technocratic version of this story, or the often hidden or repressed shadow side to the industrial processing of nuclear materials. These paths roughly track the movement of radioactive materials from the earth, into weapons or energy sources, and then into unmanageable waste-along with the environmental, social, technical, and ethical ramifications of these processes. If you purchase these poles, instead of chopping them down yourself, you're looking at an average cost of about $20 per log, or $400 for 20 logs.You may browse the Atlas by following the curated 'paths' of information and interpretation provided by the editors. The poles should over-hang the edges by at least a foot in order to help support the soil on top.

Step 4: Once you've dug your trench, lay your wooden poles over top of it. A basic 3-by-11 foot waterproof tarp should run you between $20-$40. Step 3: When completed, place waterproof material over each end of the shelter to form an overhead canopy - this should keep your shelter dry as well as catch any dropping fallout. It should be about two feet wide by three and a half feet deep - it's basically a crawl space and can double as an emergency exit for smaller individuals. Dig this trench just under the ground's surface with an opening to the surface at the end of it. At the other end of the trench, dig a five-foot-long ventilation trench to help circulate air. Step 2: Next, dig a five-foot-long entrance with steps or a slope down into the main area. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
