Hazardous Materials Incidents During Earthquakes: Japan's Experience and Solutions

该项目的目的是研究地震- 造成了日本经历过的危险材料事件， 这些问题的根源，以及解决方案， 一个结果。 将对获得的数据进行分析和比较， 关于美国地震的信息，特别是 洛马普列塔地震。 日本的法规和条例， 专门针对减少地震造成的危险， 将确定材料事故。 组织和 监管机构负责监督 将确定减少危害措施的实施情况， 他们的具体角色被研究。 详细信息， 在日本提供，结合有关 日本开发的技术解决方案，将对美国有价值。 研究人员和安全专业人员感兴趣的危险 材料问题。 根据分析，建议 将制定减少危害的努力和今后的研究。 一个注释书目和一个计算机化的数据库， 日本地震引发的危险品事件， 汇编所制定的解决办法，并将提交一份最后报告， 公开.

The objective of this project is to research the earthquake- caused hazardous materials incidents that Japan has experienced, the root cause of those problems, and the solutions developed as a result. The data obtained will be analyzed and compared to information that is available on U.S. earthquakes, especially the Loma Prieta Earthquake. Japanese codes and regulations that are specifically aimed at reducing earthquake-caused hazardous materials incidents will be identified. Organizations and regulatory bodies that are responsible for overseeing implementation of hazard reduction measures will be identified, and their specific role examined. The detailed information that is available in Japan, combined with the information on the technical solutions developed in Japan, will be of value to U.S. researchers and safety professionals interested in hazardous materials issues. Based on the analysis, recommendations for hazard reduction efforts and future research will be formulated. An annotated bibliography and a computerized data base of Japanese earthquake-caused hazardous materials incidents, a compilation of solutions developed, and a final report will be published.
