Objective
The objective is to produce a methodological decision making framework and associated computational tools for assessing the risk of major technological hazard sources in complex industrial and urban systems.
The project will be concerned in particular with :
the development of an integrated methodology, procedural steps and corresponding personal computer subroutines for analyzing and assessing risk from single and/or clustered industrial installations handling hazardous materials;
the development of a decision making framework and corresponding software tool for regional planning of industrial and urban complexes, including land use planning and siting policies for single and clustered industrial installations;
and the development of a decision making framework and corresponding software tool for developing emergency response plans for use by local and regional authorities.
Input to this project will consist of existing models for predicting the accident scenaria and their corresponding frequency of occurence, dispersion of hazardous substances in the environment, dose response models, and consequence assessment. Models based both on theory and experiments will be considered. Furthermore, input will consist of existing theory and procedures for decision making and practices for emergency response.
The work will integrate these models and procedures, expand theory and methodology when necessary and produce the required techniques and/or software. Evaluation of the results will take place using the Thessaloniki industrial areas as a test object. Further details of the work process are given in the description of the different tasks.
10 tasks have been identified encompassing : integration of simplified models; development of relevant models (seismic, physical releases, dispersion paths (complex, soil, aquatic), health assessment, environmental consequences, emergency and close response); integration of first 5 tasks into a user friendly package; development of decision making frameworks for assessing optimum emergency response plans, and for establishing optimum land use and siting policies; and application of the above to the Thessaloniki industrial area of Greece.
