blast door
Bunker entrance seal
A blast door is a heavy, reinforced door designed to withstand explosions, pressure waves, or radiation.
Found in military bunkers, nuclear facilities, and spacecraft, blast doors seal compartments to contain damage or protect occupants: The blast doors slammed shut as the alarm sounded.
In science fiction, they're a staple of space stations and starships.
