Case Study to Evaluate Potential Response Options to an Intentional Contamination Event Using an Optimal Hydraulic Response Tool
使用最佳液压响应工具评估故意污染事件潜在响应选项的案例研究
This powerpoint presentation begins by presenting the motivation for contamination warning
systems and timely response, and an overview of threat ensemble vulnerability assessment
(TEVA) Research Program. Case study goals presented include:
identify response actions which could be implemented to
minimize impacts given a contamination event;
evaluate feasibility of various response actions to further
development of a hydraulic response tool;
provide input to development of a consequence
management plan for the case study utility; and,
develop a response tool which supports the selection of
optimal response actions (flushing, valve closures, public
notifications) given a contamination event. A summary of analysis states that:
by simulating a range of contamination incidents within
a pressure zone, average response options can be
developed; preliminary results of average response options
generally result in approximately a 1-2% decrease in
the percent reduction of the impact measure from the
optimal response solution; and,
determining an average response option can be useful
when the contamination source location is unknown
and provides a means for developing pre-planned
response strategies. Includes tables, figures.
