CST Twin Peaks

The mountains in this area are home to Scientology's CST Twin Peaks facility. The facility consists of small, scattered buildings and equipment on the surface, nestled on an incline within the pines, and a considerably larger bunker complex deep underground. The bunker complex, hardened against significant thermal, electromagnetic, radiological, and overpressure events, can handle a limited nuclear strike, though this is thought to be limited to air-burst scenarios, not a direct "laydown delivery" attack, as CST facilities are unlikely to be considered valid military targets.

Operational Endurance

Operational endurance is approximately 30 years, though not completely "closed loop". Fuel reserves are primarily extremely large tanks of liquified propane, which can also be used as a refrigerant. Stabilized diesel is available and continuously rotated to minimize water and breakdown product buildup. The facility has an extended period of completely independent air-- to wait out high-energy, short-lived fallout isotopes-- but does eventually have to fall back on charcoal-path intake and other air filtration techniques typical of larger, long-duration fallout shelters, such as the Greenbrier "Greek Island" bunker, the 1992 revelation of which significantly altered both the construction plans and buildout schedule for CST Twin Peaks.

Readiness

The bunker maintains at least some staff at all times. In the above-ground complex, security, maintenance, technical, and logistics personnel are always on-site. Bunker stores are continuously rotated out as topside chow to avoid spoilage.
