Eighteen papers from the May 1998 conference describe methods for integrated risk assessments and their applications. Intended for engineers, scientists, regulatory authorities, and other practitioners involved in the design, construction, and operation of chemical and process plants, petrochemical facilities, nuclear facilities and other potentially hazardous installations. Discusses trends in regulatory requirements, quantitative/probabilistic risk assessments, and environmental risk assessments. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

The future of regulation for integrated risk assessments and core applications are the main theme in a book which gives important insights into the trends that have developed within chemical, process and nuclear plants.
