VULNERABILITY OF THE WATER, SEWAGE, AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS IN SAN JOSE

Abstract

The report examines the facilities of the water supply, sewage, and drainage systems in the City of San Jose; assesses their vulnerability to the effects of the nuclear attack postulated for the first iteration of the FIVE CITY STUDY; and presents a preliminary estimate of the postattack capability of these systems and their interaction with the electric power system. Additional data presented are: guides for analyzing the vulnerability of water, sewage, electric power, and natural gas facilities to the effects of a 5-MT nuclear burst, and methods for performing rapid network analysis of water supply systems.
