Abstract: Abstract This companion paper presents results of the application of new techniques for the identification of damage domains and simplified exceedance frequency computations in Bhopal-like accident scenarios. Damage domains are an essential part of the ongoing effort to apply dynamic risk assessment methods and tools based on the Theory of Stimulated Dynamics (TSD) to chemically reacting industrial facilities. The application refers to a simplified case of methyl-isocyanate leak scenario from the storage tank 610 at Bhopal plant. The dynamic risk assessment based TSD method is very effective for identifying the damage domains of all scenarios encountered in the Bhopal accident study. The damage exceedance frequencies are considered the key for protection engineering. Based on the results obtained from the TSD calculations, the designer can improve the protective layers representing the mitigation of the major industrial risks.
