The study is not intended, by itself, to support any specific rulemaking action or other regulatory activity.
Among the topics discussed in the WDA are: (1) sabotage of scent fuel casks, discussed in Chapter 6, resulting in severe consequences (thousands of deaths, billions of dollars in damages) and (2) consecuences of severe accidents in uroan areas resulting in costs exceeding $560 million.
