Fallout/survival shelter

Im not sure if this has been addressed yet, so Ill mention it anyways.. Im looking to possibly build a fallout/survival shelter in my yard, or another area. Basically what Im wondering, is what sort of foundation would I need? Concrete, lead, steel, rubber, and so on, to make sure the place radiation, water proof, and all that jazz. Also, Im wondering if there is any type of material I can insulate it with that would block an EMP blast. I am also curious how deep I would need to make it, from the ceiling height to the surface. Any input or suggestions would be excellent.

This is what you should need

The question is how much do you want to spend?

A section of steel culvert 10' - 12' wide 20' - 40' in length might set you back a couple of grand. Solar panels & batteries can provide power. A deep well or sufficient water storage is also a major concern. The steel will provide a good defense against radioactivity especially when it is buried and most manufacturers can fabricate them to whatever specs you desire.
