Popis: A simple method for an Individual and social risk assessment for liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) storages is proposed. This method is based on a simple event tree consideration and a rather detalled account of impact factors (thermal radiation intensity. explosion pressure and impulse in a shock wave) for various accident scenarios with fires and explosions (BLEVE, vapour cloud explosion, pool fire, flash fire). The demonstration of the applicability of the method has been carried out for a typical liquefied petroleum gases storage consisting of 12 spherical vessels with volume of 600 m3 each vessel.
