CHEMICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL SUBSYSTEMS FOR INTEGRATED CRISIS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR WARSAW AGGLOMERATION M. Borysiewicz, S. Potempski Institute of Atomic Energy, CoE MANHAZ, Poland
Design of Emergency Response Planning and Rescue Operations Support System for Urban Areas Chemical and radiological subsystems Conclusions Contents
Final product: integrated system with various sources of information, different possible consequences of various types of hazards (biological, radiological and toxic release, explosions, fires, urban infrastructure, natural hazards, etc.) and different responsibilities of urban services (fire brigades, police, medical service etc.) Consortium of 15 institutions established Military University of Technology – coordinator Cooperation with Warsaw Emergency Center CoE MANHAZ, IAE responsible for chemical and radiological modules Emergency Response Planning and Rescue Operations Support System for Urban Areas (ERPROS)
To build the system that: determines emergency zones based on simulations of the dispersal of hazardous nuclear, biological, and chemical materials released to the atmosphere and water bodies in urban areas, provides essential information on required resources, such as search and rescue teams, equipment, medical assistance, food, evacuation and shelter, needed in case of emergency situation, has access to all the necessary databases and GIS-based information, which can be distributed geographically among different urban services, enables co-ordination of emergency action in real-time based on reliable system for information exchange and interoperability capabilities among different systems Emergency Response Planning and Rescue Operations Support System for Urban Areas (ERPROS) – objectives:
knowledge database where templates of crisis situations and different variants of possible activities and tasks for rescue teams and urban services are stored, monitoring systems, in particular early warning systems (EWS), databases where up to date information on all the important elements of agglomeration infrastructure is stored, databases on available resources relevant to emergency situation, graphic user interface and visualization subsystem, functional modules to support the management the crisis situations Main elements of the ERPROS system
assessment of current status of safety features in agglomeration and prognosis of possibility of emergency situation identification of crisis situation, based on prepared and stored in databases templates support of decision making tasks for rescue teams and activities of urban services, etc. Main modules of ERPROS system
possible sources of hazards (plants, storing facilities, transportation system) status of urban infrastructures (energy supply, pipelines, potable water, critical infrastructure elements, monitoring systems, etc.) urban services acting in case of crisis situations (fire brigades, police, medical facilities) GIS-type information (population, special locations, tec.) Infrastructure databases
simulation module to make prognosis of the situation database of scenarios security vulnerability analysis definition of decision templates and tasks for any rescue teams and urban services This leads to KNOWLEDGE DATABASE Tools needed for each type of hazard
simulation modules for determining emergency zones and assessment of consequences of releases of chemical substances module for assessment of consequences in case of acts of terror module assessment of consequences for surface water and potable water distribution system module assessment of consequences for waste and utilization facilities module for dispersion of pollutants in street canyons module for simulation of wind fields in local scale (street canyons) ERPROS – modules of chemical subsystem
dedicated numerical weather forecast for urban agglomeration central module for preparation and updating databases related to chemical emergencies in urban agglomeration module for integration of models and databases related to chemical threats information databases on stationary installations information databases on transportation of hazardous substances in urban agglomeration physical-chemical databases of dangerous substances links to geographical information system and external databases interface to early warning monitoring systems ERPROS – modules of chemical subsystem
databases of physical-chemical substances intervention levels linked to substances database basic scenarios for selected substances or groups of substances depending on the type of release, storing and transportation conditions adaptive part of scenario depending on meteorological conditions and localization of source of release emergency simulator simulation results presented on digital maps ERPROS – implementation of chemical subsystem
Unified Model for Pollutant Dispersion in Atmosphere (UPDMA) developed as a part of SWAR system (Emergency Planning and Response System for Chemical Process Plant) Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability (HPAC) CFD calculations using FLUENT code ERPROS – tools for implementation of chemical subsystem
Main features: unified approach to modelling of pollutant dispersion in atmosphere ground-level or elevated two-phase pressurised or un-pressurised releases continuous and instantaneousreleases modification of approach used in the PHAST program UMPDA – Unified Model of Pollutant Dispersion in Atmosphere (1)
Consists of linked modules: jet dispersion droplet evaporation and rainout, touchdown pool spread and vaporisation heavy gas dispersion passive dispersion UMPDA – Unified Model of Pollutant Dispersion in Atmosphere (2)
Some features: effects of droplet vaporisation included using a non-equilibrium model vapour is added back into the plume vertical variation in ambient wind speed, temperature and pressure is possible possible plume lift-off, where a grounded cloud becomes buoyant and rises into the air model coefficients obtained directly from established data in the literature (based on wind-tunnel experiments) UMPDA – Unified Model of Pollutant Dispersion in Atmosphere (3)
Discharge modelling consists of the following steps : Establishing the initial storage conditions and type of release (flashing/nonflashing, liquid/vapour/two-phase) Establishing the mass flow rate and choke conditions Expansion from choke conditions to atmospheric pressure Calculation of droplet size (for flashing or nonflashing liquid) Discharge calculation UMPDA – Unified Model of Pollutant Dispersion in Atmosphere (4)
All objects within the zone can be automatically marked and report on the objects can be displayed.
Link to “Real-time On-line Decision Support System” (RODOS) installed in CEZAR (Radiation Emergency Center of the National Atomic Energy Agency) RODOS: all phases of emergency situation covered (pre-release to late phase) RODOS: short- and long-term countermeasures considered (evacuation, sheltering, distribution of iodine, decontamination, agriculture effects) Special modules of RODOS system (dirty bombs) ERPROS – radiological subsystem
Analogous concept as for chemical hazards: security vulnerability analysis basic pre-defined scenarios adaptive part templates for decision making process and tasks for emergency teams building “knowledge database” Tools: RODOS and Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability (HPAC) ERPROS – radiological subsystem
Design phase finished in 2007 Implementation started Creation of system databases GUI Central management module GIS Last phase: on-line connections, verification and testing ERPROS – current staus
“Command and control” system but: large databases containing pre-defined scenarios, templates for emergency teams logical diagrams (for chains: scenario→simulation→actions→countermeasures) formal logic programming techniques (“knowledge database”) possibly evolving into “expert system” Connection to on-line monitoring systems Effective use of available resources ERPROS- conclusions
