Jack Rabbit Project Chlorine Tests
The use of a Risk-Based Response is a critical for a safe, effective response to a large-scale chlorine release. The INTERAGENCY BOARD (IAB) Training Trigger provides valuable breakdown of the Jack Rabbit Project Chlorine Tests.
Here are some significant findings from the Jack Rabbit studies:
•Common urban surfaces are not significantly impacted by Chlorine exposure.
•The plume will be strongly influenced by wind speed and direction.
•Low wind conditions may allow for upwind movement of the vapor cloud.
•Significant lateral movement around structures near the release point may initially occur.
•Sheltering inside vehicles within 200 meters did not provide protection.
•Gas and diesel vehicles continued to operate in high Chlorine concentrations, thereby allowing for lateral movement away from the source.
