Nearby Facilities

In tliis category, ignition results from converted or radiated heat from adjoining or nearby facilities. 

If any nearby facility is likely to encourage additional construction activity, provide appropriate pipeline markers. 

The overall effect is to allow a user to pursue his/her interests as they arise. A list of chemicals stored at a nearby facility might prompt either a request for a list of other facilities storing a particular chemical or a request for information about the health effects of one of the chemicals. Changes in the user s interests are to be expected as an information-gathering session progresses. The Citizen s Helper stack anticipates this need for flexibility by... 

The exposure potential from adjacent facilities due to catastrophic incidents such as a fire, explosion, or a chemical release should be identified when conducting a site assessment. Reassessments of nearby facilities may also be warranted as changes to the surrounding exposures occur over time. High hazard or poorly protected operations may present a risk to a nearby chemical warehouse. The most effective approach for minimizing the exposure is usually sufficient spatial separation or fire walls. Locating a chemical warehouse adjacent to airports, highways and railroad lines may also result in an exposure, albeit remote. 

Potential loss scenarios include fire, explosion, chemical release, natural peril occurrences, riot and civil commotion, arson, loss of utilities, or a fire, explosion, or a chemical release at a nearby facility. Chemical releases might result from a spill or container failure, or as a consequence of fire, natural peril, or other event, and might involve the chemicals themselves, products of chemical reactions or decomposition, or in the case of fire, products of combustion. 

Effluent treatment required If there is no CSA plant nearby, facilities for HCl scrubbing and disposal will have to be provided No effluent is generated... 

This section identifies both nearby facilities that could be affected by accidents within TA-V and hazardous operations or facilities onsite or off site that could adversely affect operations at the HCF. 

The plant can withstand (without the need for prompt intervention) credible external events typical of the enviroiunent, such as severe natural phenomena, industrial accidents in nearby facilities, and the consequential effects of natural and man-made disasters on nearby facilities. Fires within the facility either are made impossible, or cannot affect the nuclear safety, or can be handled by fire-fighting staff in nearby settlements. There are generous time allowances built into the design for such staff to arrive and be effective. 

The disposal site must not be located where nearby facilities or activities could adversely impact the ability of the site to meet the performance objectives of 10 CFR 61, Subpart C, or significantly mask the environmental monitoring program. 

Oxygen administration. Oxygen should be administered by properly trained personnel. Suitable equipment for the administration of oxygen should be available either on site or at a nearby facility. Such equipment should be periodically tested. More sophisticated inhalation equipment is available in most emergency facilities. Humidified oxygen should be used whenever possible. 

Ontario. The transit time is about one month. Other crudes are also available from nearby facilities. 

Management Provide top company executives with all relevant information needed for the protection of employees, customers, vendors, and nearby facilities.
