Conventional superconductors usually have critical temperatures ranging from around 20 K to less than 1 K. Solid mercury, for example, has a critical temperature of 4. 2 K., the highest critical temperature found for a conventional superconductor is 39 K for magnesium diboride ( MgB < sub > 2 </ sub >), although this material displays enough exotic properties that there is some doubt about classifying it as a " conventional " superconductor.

Solid concrete blocks, relatively heavy and dense, are used for this shelter.

Solid blocks are recommended because hollow blocks would have to be filled with concrete to give effective protection.
