Objectives: to provide first responders with the basis, practically applicable knowledge on how to assess the threats from large releases of hazardous chemicals

CAST Kick-off, Salzburg July 15-17 – WP4

This work package will contain the training modules:standardization of models for dissipation of releases of chemicalsstandardization of models for evaluation of gas-explosions or BLEVErisk assessment of domino-effects new techniques of explosion supression and fire fighting methodssensor-technology to detect and identify fires and release or distribution of hazardous chemicals
