Progress since Paris meeting (Oct 2002)Progress since Paris meeting (Oct 2002)
• Full implementation of database extension to the end of year 2000
• Evaluations based on extended database
• Resolution of valuation issues
• Report in progress
Paul Scherrer Institut • 5232 Villigen PSI NewExt Fourth Progress Meeting, Villigen PSI, 26/27 May 2003
Resolved issuesResolved issues
• Separation of occupational and public accidents
• Value of statistical life to be used for estimation of accident-related external costs
• Allocation of accidents (some sensitivities examined)
• Importance of smaller accidents (addressed to extent feasible in view of reporting completeness)
• Evaluation of trends (some indications)
• Probabilistic analysis for hydropower (concept and example results)
• Economic valuation (awaiting final results of WP 2; degree of internalization established)

Actual Accidents
• There is a discrepancy between the number of accidents that actually occur and those that are published.
• The relatively rare major accidents have a much greater probability of being publicised than the much more frequent accidents that cause less severe damage or danger.

Oil spills facts (1969-2000)Oil spills facts (1969-2000)
• 118 offshore and 38 onshore oil spills >10’000 tonnes between 1969
and 2000.
• The biggest spill ever occurred during Gulf War II in 1991 when
between 768’000 and 1’472’000 tonnes spilled from oil terminals and
tankers.
• The second biggest spill occurred over a ten-month period (June
1979 - February 1980) when 480’000 tonnes spilled at the Ixtoc I well
blowout in the Gulf of Mexico near Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico.
• In comparison, the largest tanker spill had a size of about 290’000
tonnes (Sea Empress / Aegean Captain; 1979)

Oil spills facts (1969-2000) cont.Oil spills facts (1969-2000) cont.
• Overall, few very large spills were responsible for a high percentage
of the total oil spilled in tanker accidents in the period 1969-2000.
• But the magnitude of the impact is primarily depending on distance
to the coast, weather and current conditions, whereas the amount
and type of oil spilled may often be of secondary importance.
• For example, the Exxon Valdez accident (Prince William Sound,
Alaska, USA) in 1989 was relatively small with 37’000 tonnes oil lost,
but it occurred close to the coastline and wind current moved the oil
slick to the beaches leading to an ecological disaster.

Remaining Valuation (and Other) IssuesRemaining Valuation (and Other) Issues
• Valuation of injuries, evacuees and oil spills
• Degree of internalization in non-OECD countries
• Representation of small accidents (discussion, internalization assumed)
• Nuclear energy not adequately treated in ExternE
Paul Scherrer Institut • 5232 Villigen PSI NewExt Fourth Progress Meeting, Villigen PSI, 26/27 May 2003
Conclusions (I)Conclusions (I)
• Comprehensive historical experience of energy-related
severe accidents based on PSI's ENSAD.
• Damages associated with severe accidents are rather small
compared to natural disasters.
• Statistical basis for OECD countries is much broader than for
EU-15, and considered representative also for the latter.
• Energy-related accident risks in non-OECD countries are
distinctly higher than in OECD countries.

Conclusions (II)Conclusions (II)
• Hydropower in non-OECD countries and upstream stages
within fossil energy chains are most accident-prone.
• Expected fatality rates are lowest for western hydropower
and nuclear power plants. However, the maximum credible
consequences are very large. The associated risk valuation
is subject to stakeholder value judgements and can be
pursued in multi-criteria decision analysis.
• External costs associated with severe accidents are
generally much smaller than monetized damages caused by
air pollution.
