Also (just as a side effect) a single massive wall decreases the x-ray radiation in 10x-20x times. Two walls will decrease it twice more. And the reinforced concrete doesn't burn too...

These houses can stand -40C and nobody will be hurt here like in this movie. A usual winter temperature in my region is -10C..-20C (sometimes -30C) and... I have windows opened and wear shorts only (I don't even wear a t-shirt), because it's always +25C inside.
