    The Carp shelter would be the largest of such facilities (over 9,300 m 2 (100,000 sq ft) [10]) and the only one in the immediate Ottawa area. The underground 4-storey bunker required 32,000 tonnes of concrete and 5,000 tonnes of steel. The structure was capable of withstanding a nuclear blast of up to 5 megatons from 1.8 km (1.1 mi) away.
