OPERATING THREATS FOR ANTHROPOGENIC OBJECTS RELATED TO INSTALLATIONS OF SPECIAL OBJECTS - SHELTERS

Scientific research of the SCO countries: synergy and integration
The paper discusses the significant threats to health and life of people staying in shelters isolated from the external environment. These threats result from improper maintenance of shelter installations and deficiencies in their tech- nical equipment.

Evacuation shelter and route selection based on multi-objective optimization approach

Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on the Use of GIS in Emergency Management, 2015
Evacuation shelter and route selection are indispensable parts of emergency planning. An efficient plan can effectively evacuate people from a dangerous place to a safer location. Meanwhile, it is crucial to improve risk management. This article presents a multi-objective optimization algorithm based on social media and GIS to optimize shelter usage ...

Fantasy Objects: The Perception of Safety of Emergency Shelter in Place Kits

Deviant Behavior, 2016
ABSTRACTUsing interview data (n = 30) of residents in Calhoun County, Alabama, we examine the meaning respondents give to the objects (shelter-in-place kits) disseminated to residents in order to manage risk of accidents from Anniston Army Depot’s Chemical Weapons storage and incinerator activities.

Text and object: the bus shelter that became cultural heritage

International Journal of Heritage Studies, 2014
In order to meet the increasing critique of official heritage as elitist and hegemonic, several attempts have been made to become more inclusive, participatory and democratic. The Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage undertook an interesting and surprising move when they decided to grant 12 ‘everyday’ sites Special Protection Orders as a ...

Calculation of Inhalation Dose Received due to Work Implementation at “Shelter” Object

Volume 2: Mgmt. Low/Interm. Level Waste; Spent Fuel; Economics/Analyses for Waste Mgmt.; Radiological Characterization/Application Release Criteria; Panel Sessions; Solid Waste Reduction/Treatment; Current Activities in Central/Eastern Europe; Environmental Remediation Technology; LL/ILW; HLW/Spent Fuel; Chernobyl; D&D Waste; Performance Assessment; MOX and Spent UOX; D&D Nuclear Reactors; Decommissioning of Other Nuclear Facilities, 2001
Abstract A method for calculation of internal irradiation due to radioactive dust and aerosols of the ChNPP ‘Shelter’ Object intake into a human body is proposed. It is shown, that despite the fact that alpha active substances bring a little contribution to total aerosol activity, it brings significant contribution into the internal ...

ANALYSIS OF AEROSOL DISTRIBUTION INSIDE THE OBJECT “SHELTER” AT THE CHORNOBYL NUCLEAR REACTOR SITE

Health Physics, 2001
Results of the aerosol sampling inside the Object Shelter at the Chornobyl nuclear reactor site are considered in the work. The results show a consistent and significant contribution of submicron fraction to the total aerosol activity. Different methods of interpretation of impactor data series are compared in order to indicate and detect in the most ...

A multi-objective optimization model for planning emergency shelters after a tsunami

Socio-Economic Planning Sciences
Vertical evacuation helps people escape tsunami risks by elevating them above the level of tsunami inundation, usually by moving to higher ground or taking refuge in tall buildings or other elevated structures. Unlike horizontal evacuation, which involves moving away from the coast to higher ground, vertical evacuation reduces the demand for horizontal

[Release of radioactive aerosols from the object "shelter" during strong winds].

Radiatsionnaia biologiia, radioecologiia, 2005
Results of measurements of radionuclide and disperse compositions of aerosols in ventilation system "Bypass" of the object "Shelter" of the Chernobyl NPP are presented. The Bypass is used for releasing contaminated air from the destroyed reactor of Block-IV to the atmosphere. In aerosols, the experimentally found ratio of 137Cs concentration to the sum

THREATS IN THE FUNCTIONING OF VENTILATION INSTALLATIONS IN ANTHROPOGENIC SPECIAL OBJECTS – SHELTERS

Scientific research of the SCO countries: synergy and integration
The paper presents technical problems associated with obtaining a high tightness of shelter facilities, which is necessary to protect their interiors against the ingress of intentionally contaminated external air. Another very important factor affecting the trouble-free operation of the shelter is the reliable operation of ventilation systems ensuring ...
