TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Can Chemical Plants be Protected Against Terrorist Attacks? JO - Process safety and environmental protection A1 - Jochum, C. SP - 459 EP - 462 VL - 83 IS - 5 N2 - The protection of chemical plants against terrorist attacks became a new challenge after 11 September 2001. In a recent guideline the German Major Hazard Commission describes a "security analysis" to assess the risk of terrorist attacks on chemical plants. Whereas a complete protection never will be possible, a number of well known security and process safety measures are available to reduce the risk, thus making chemical plants to a less attractive target for terrorists. However, conflicts have to be solved between a possible need not to disclose safety information for security reasons and the public's right to know.
