The objective of the program reported in this paper was to assess the explosion and fire hazard associated with the crude-oil offloading facility proposed for the Deep Water Port, Galveston, Texas. Explosion damage estimates were made for two conditions;the ″worst case,″ which involved 36 percent of the tanks of the largest tanker. Fire effects were investigated on the basis of six fire scenarios. Fire-control techniques were postulated and equipment characteristics and quantities were defined. The inert-gas system (IGS) was evaluated in terms of operational characteristics, reliability, failure modes and effects, and controls.
A workshop, held at Stanford University on August 29 and 30, 1974, brought together two groups of scientists interested in extraterrestrial civilization (ETC). Group A is comprised of scientists studying the problem t...
