Risk assessment of indoor refueling and servicing of CNG-fueled mass-transit buses

Technical Report · Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 EST 1990

OSTI ID:5917107

A probabilistic risk assessment was conducted to estimate the risk of accidental ignition from indoor refueling and servicing of compressed natural gas-fueled mass transit buses. Risks associated with five scenarios for the refueling equipment, bus system, refueling/servicing facility, and refueling process were evaluated using event and fault tree analyses. Volume 1, containing descriptions of the scenarios, data, and evaluation methods, and volume 2, containing the fault tree models, have been processed separately for inclusion on the data base.
