Timeline
Walton W. McCarthy (born 1951) is an American businessman and mechanical engineer and is known as an advocate for creating scientific standards for the underground shelter industry.
Walton McCarthy was born in 1951 to Jacqueline and Robert McCarthy, and raised in The Bronx NY.
He graduated with a bachelor of science degree from Montana State University in 1974.
McCarthy has two children, Darik McCarthy and Alexis McCarthy.
He is married to LaTonia McCarthy of Plano, TX.
Overhearing a sad conversation in 1978 prompted McCarthy to begin his bomb shelter career.
A family he knew had a suicide pact in place should nuclear war fallout cause radiation poisoning.
Their young daughter asked "if" she grew up, could she be a designer.
McCarthy decided to dedicate his career to protecting people from the devastating effects of nuclear war.
He started building bomb shelters in 1978.
He worked with the Department of Defense and multiple governments and educational institutions to determine how to create appropriate protection from nuclear explosions.
He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Testing Materials, and the Composite Fabricators Association.
McCarthy was the subject of two television shows and numerous radio programs.
McCarthy was featured in American Survival Guide for his S16 underground shelter and his Self-Contained Underground Power Plant (SCUPP).
McCarthy established the very first guidelines for effective designing and manufacturing of underground shelters in his 1983 book The Nuclear Shelterist.
In this book McCarthy coined the term shelterist to mean an underground shelter occupant, distinguishing his customers from what are now known as "survivalists" and "preppers".
A shelterist uses the shelter to prepare for a disaster; a "prepper" uses food and guns to prepare for a disaster, but not necessarily a shelter.
However, it was his second book, Principles of Protection: U. S. Handbook of NBC Weapon Fundamentals and Shelter Engineering Design Standards, which became "The Bible of the Shelter Industry".
This book establishes nuclear weapons effects tables that are not founded in any book to date.
McCarthy has argued for many years to distinguish between survival shelters and nuclear shelters, as survival shelters were not designed to protect people from nuclear weapons.
McCarthy also created a committee of university, corporate and government scientists to create standards for the underground shelter industry.
The committee included experts from the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory at the University of Illinois, the Biomedical and Environmental Research Institute, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Chemical Division, Edgewood Arsenal, Stonybrook University, FEMA, Scientific Applications International Corp., Northeast Consulting Engineers, the University of NH and the National Bureau of Standards.
McCarthy has designed and installed over 1400 underground shelters and published twelve patents.
McCarthy and several of his shelter companies have been featured in The New York Times, KSAT ABC, The Wall Street Journal, CBS News, Wired Magazine, Popular Mechanics, and CNN and multiple other publications.
