EPRI has developed the MOSES code to help utility staff and others predict the likelihood of spills of mineral oil from substation equipment and aboveground storage tanks will reach surface water. The code is particularly useful for utility managers and engineers responsible for developing spill prevention plans and implementing spill control measures. MOSES computes the probabilities of spills remaining on-site and of spills reaching surface water for a wide range of environmental and site conditions. Designed for use on IBM-compatible personal computers, the code is commercially available through the Electric Power Software Center.
