#4 Best way is to have two 90 degree turns to break up the blast. Also works very well against persistent chemical weapon attack.

But rule #1 is preferable. Or dig deep.

#6 Don't consider it a shelter.
Consider productivity purchases for your farm.

Code it as a limited access, humidity/temperature controlled, below grade agriculture product storage facility. The allowable cost deduction~$30k.

Include the electrically warmed 1000 gallon aquaculture incubation tank with added agitation. Also deductible~$5k.

No sales tax on these items with the correct agricultural tax exemption.
