• Those who need a thorough understanding of consequence analysis techniques to comply with EPA's risk management program rule (40 CFR 68)
• Those who use consequence analysis techniques to evaluate accidents for documented safety analyses
• Those who use consequence analysis as an integral part of QRAs and SVAs
• Those who develop plant/community emergency response plans using consequence analysis techniques
• Participants should have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in science, engineering, or mathematics (attendees should bring a scientific calculator to the course)
