The intent of this paper will be to reivew the methods utilized at the Eastman Kingsport site in determining magnitude of consequences of toxic, thermal and blast overpressure scenarios. This will include discussion on dispersion modeling, dose-response methods for toxic and thermal probits as well as assessing occupant vulnerability through the use of BakerRisk's Explosion Risk Cooperative tools. Additionally, a discussion on how these methods are used in LOPA will be included.
