Abstract:
This document is not intended to provide a discussion of
hazard assessment in general nor details of HAZARD I in
particular; but rather to supplement the presentation
made at the meeting and provide a summary of the
important assumptions and limitations of the HAZARD I
system. It is impossible to provide an exhaustive
discussion of these points in a summary document such as
this - a full understanding will require study of the
complete HAZARD I reports and the references included
therein. It is hoped that this summary will provide a
sufficient overview to allow an understanding of what
HAZARD I can and cannot do, and the background to future
enhancements.
