  1. 2. Quantitative risk assessment in process safety studies: an overview
    Dr Gabriele Landucci (Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering, University of Pisa)

    In framework of process industries (e.g., chemical and petrochemical facilities), major accidents are accidental events connected with the use of hazardous materials in an industrial site. Major fires, explosions, toxic dispersions/contaminations constitute examples of possible events leading to serious danger to human health and/or the environment. These events feature high magnitude or...

  2. 3. ESS fire- and explosion safety programme - deterministic and probabilistic conditions – case study on acceptance criteria to open smoke hatches in the instrument building.

    A number of Swedish acts and ordinances give the basic requirements of facility safety. None of
    these are tailored for ESS, hence interpretation is required for appropriate application.
    The Licensee shall as far as reasonable possible, based on existing technical experience and economical and social circumstances, undertake measures to limit 1) production of radioactive waste, 2) release of...

  3. 27. Uncertainty in the assessment of BLEVE risk in process plants and in transportation
    Prof. Joaquim Casal Fabrega (UPC Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya)
    26/11/2018, 14:40

    BLEVE explosions keep occurring from time to time in process plants, storage and transport by road or rail. Concerning the materials, the highest contribution is that from LPG and water, but many other liquids can also be involved; depending on their properties, the explosion can be followed by a fireball or a toxic cloud.
    Although diverse models and methodologies have been proposed to...
