Facility siting mitigation decisions should be made in a logical and defensible manner. This article provides a framework for making and justifying facility siting mitigation decisions beginning with presenting risk results in a clear manner prior to identifying practical risk mitigation strategies, highlighting potential source and location risk mitigation strategies, demonstrating how these strategies can be evaluated with examples, and ultimately to quantifying and optimizing the safety‐benefit of each mitigation strategy/combination of strategies. The outcome of this process provides a defensible basis for prioritization and practicality of risk mitigation strategies, or a combination of strategies that reduce facility risk to broadly acceptable levels or as low as reasonably practicable while minimizing expense.

利用设施选址来优化缓解决策

设施选址缓解的决定应以合乎逻辑和合理的方式做出。本文提供了一个框架，用于制定和论证设施选址的缓解决策，首先要以清晰的方式呈现风险结果，然后再确定实际的风险缓解策略，重点介绍潜在的源头和位置风险缓解策略，并通过示例演示如何评估这些策略，以及最终量化和优化每种缓解策略/策略组合的安全性。该过程的结果为风险缓解策略的优先级和实用性或将设施风险降低到广泛可接受的水平或在合理可行的范围内降低成本的最小化的策略组合提供了可辩护的基础。
