Protection against Chemical Terrorism in the Prague Subway
Original language description
The authors consider vulnerability of the Prague subway to a possible chemical attack. Possible threat of nerve agent attack is discussed hereafter and the system of subway protection is described. Based on complex assessment of toxicity and evaporableness of individual nerve agents, sarin was found the most dangerous substance applicable in a subway attack. Use of the protection system in a case of a subway nerve agent attack and the conditions for distribution of contaminants are examined and severalpossible scenarios are considered. Resulting from the analyses of possible distribution of a nerve agent and from characteristics of underground spaces, a couple of detailed recommendations to protect passengers and staff against chemical terrorism in subway are suggested. The authors describe long negotiations of the responsible state bodies concerning a creation of a new plan for protection against chemical terrorism in the Prague subway. This plan was accepted and published in mid 201
