Review of basic principles associated with assessment of consequences resulting from accidental release of hazardous chemicals. The course includes discussions on principals of superheating, sub-cooling, jets, effects of underlying surfaces, and other effects that are needed to accurately characterize a source term from a variety of chemical release conditions. After establishing the chemical source term, the atmospheric transport and dispersion mechanisms will be covered.
