Detailed Test Plan for Jack Rabbit (JR)II
Abstract
JRII will expand upon the work of JRI (Reference 1) with controlled chlorine field experiments on a larger scale. It should be noted that JRI involved a geographic depression and it is still unclear whether the same cloud hold-up phenomena will persist without the depression. A tanker truck and a specialized storage tank will be used to disseminate a mass of chlorine from 4536 to 18144 kg (ranging from 5 to 20 tons) during each in a series of trials. The goals of JRII are to collect data on the release source, cloud transport and dispersion, chemical reactions with the environment, exposure effects on equipment and infrastructure, and to assess urban impacts. The project proposes to collect the data in real time via ground-based and unmanned aerial system video and spectroscopic instruments, point detectors, standoff detectors, and concentration and dosage determination instruments. The data will be shared with all project participants. The data and findings will drive an improved understanding of the basic science, an improved operational hazard prediction modeling, more effective emergency response and training, and improved national preparedness and mitigation strategies.
