Unearthing a Cold War Secret

---

In the early 1960s, Canada launched a top-secret project to ensure national survival. The Nuclear Detonation and Fallout Reporting system (NDFRS). A network of 2000 Fallout Reporting Posts (FRPS) stretching coast-to-coast, NDFRS was designed to track the drift of radioactive fallout across the country in the wake of a nuclear attack. But the system was cancelled before it ever saw service, its shelters abandoned in place and soon forgotten.

Until now...

The only fully-restored FRP in Canada, the Miami Bunker brings to life a long forgotten chapter of Canadian Cold War history. Explore this site to learn more about the history of NDFRS, the grim duties expected of its volunteer operators, whether the system would actually have protected Canada, and how this one-of-a-kind exhibit came to Miami.
