thinks will be a better house for bombs The Hill Air Force Base plan- ner who lives in Washington Terrace was working on a cheaper wav to produce concrete shelters for storing munitions Concrete for current storage buildings is poured into arching e forms in an process that takes months and costs up to $500000 the Air Force says Rather than destroying such structures to test their ability to keep accidental explosions from spreading across stacks of ordnance Hayman said he asked a contractor to make some relatively cheap rectangular concrete panels that could be pieced together quickly to form a box on-sit- A if Force photo The result of ‘Operation Great Balls of Fire’ at the Utah Test and Training Range Other than the crane and mide by concrete contractors Hayman said he looked and “Let’s interlock it” something to hold up walls throughout NATO alliance thought During the last two years he and Hill engineers have developed the Hayman igloo It is an Because of the advantages of Hayman said he proposed going beyond using them as test devices and refining them for standard use m the 1 the panels 1 -- build- foot-tall ing that can be built in lengths of multiples of 20 feet The shelter’s thick walls are embedded with vertical steel that project beyond the wall’s concrete edges like the Lego pegs The beam ends fit into square holes in floor panels A crane is used to lower the walls into place then to drop a roof on top of the walls ch field Hayman said he was watching his grandson playing with Legos when he got the idea for simply joining the panels Legos are small plastic interlocking blocks that can be used to build a variety of objects Blast The igloo may have simply been blown apart by the detonation or fallen into the crater “If it just went in the crater great” said the shelter’s namesake and creator Hill planner Lowell Hayman The blast blew the layer of earth off another bunker like so much dust but Daugherty said “The munitions in the other buildings did not go off” Reporters and Air Force personnel watched the explosion on television in a building behind a ridge and about 6 miles away About 30 seconds after a From 1C plosion would blast a crater about 210 feet in diameter just short of reaching the next near-'ebomb magazine 99 feet st away After the dust cleared and the building could still not be seen Dougherty said “The crater’s ‘bigger than we predicted it appears ” Howevei he said there was no observed secondary blast to indicate the bombs within the second shelter had exploded while the roof is fitted no tools are needed said Maj Mike Dougherty who was in charge of Friday’s test of the igloo h “It’s a fairly thing" said Sam Tinkler an explosives safety expert observing tests of the igloo for the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense Hayman said “It was very simple” The methods of construction and assembly have been kept that way with a purpose If testing proves the igloo’s worth the panels could be low-tec- brilliant

beautiful” With the exception of a Hooper woman who often calls the Air Force about its explosions on the training range Dougherty said there were no reports of the blast affecting the Wasatch Front
