Hazard classification for the supercritical water oxidation test bed. Revision 1

Abstract

A hazard classification of "routinely accepted by the public" has been determined for the operation of the supercritical water oxidation test bed at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. This determination is based on the fact that the design and proposed operation meet or exceed appropriate national standards so that the risks are equivalent to those present in similar activities conducted in private industry. Each of the 17 criteria for hazards "routinely accepted by the public," identified in the EG&G Idaho, Inc., Safety Manual, were analyzed.
