Evaluation of Barrier Walls for Mitigation of Unintended Releases of Hydrogen
William Houf, Sandia National Laboritories

The development and commercial use of hydrogen will require safety guidelines for building vehicle fueling stations, storage facilities, and other infrastructure components. If the development of these safety guidelines is to be made on a scientific basis, then validated engineering models of unintended hydrogen releases are needed for scenario and risk analysis.

William Houf made a presentation at on this topic at the NHA Hydrogen Conference and Expo 2009, in Columbia, SC, and has kindly given permission for the NHA to reprint it here:
