Use of Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) Fans to Reduce the Hazards of Entering Chemically Contaminated Buildings
"Fire fighters have used Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) fans to remove smoke from buildings before entry for rescue operations. A study was conducted to determine their effectiveness in removing chemical vapors from a building to afford quick rescue in the event that a terrorist bomb used chemical warfare agents. The testing was conducted in two phases. The first phase examined the ventilation rate of the building when PPV fans were used to determine the improvement in ventilation, and to determine how much vapor can be purged from a building within the first 10 minutes of PPV fan use. The second phase examined a mock rescue scenario in the same building by filling it with methyl salicylate and measuring the protection factor (PF) that fire fighters received while performing the rescue mission. This testing was performed according to standard Man in Simulant Test (MIST) procedures. Previous MIST testing of fire-fighter gear was used to compare the increased protection obtained through use of the PPV fans. The results show that the PPV fans were able to purge 47-72% of the vapors from the building within the first 10 min. The Ventilation rate was improved from 22 to 43% (over the natural rate), depending upon the fan combination used. Protection of fire fighters was increased up to 27 times when the PPV fans were used. Bigger, gasoline-driven fans were better, and tilting the fans improved performance."

Information Security: Fundamental Weaknesses Place EPA Data and Operations at Risk
"This report responds to your August 18, 1999, request that we evaluate the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) information security program. It expands on our February 17, 2000, statement, which provided our initial findings;1 discusses EPA's actions since mid-February to address the weaknesses we identified; and recommends needed corrective actions. On June 16, 2000, we issued a "Limited Official Use" report to you that detailed specific technical weaknesses found during our tests. Due to their sensitivity, those details are not included in this version of the report for public release. In 1997 and again in 1999, EPA's Inspector General (IG) reported serious inadequacies in the agency's information security planning, control of Internet services, and monitoring of network activities as well as an absence of formal firewall technologies to protect EPA from outside intruders.2 Your request for our evaluation was based largely on your concerns about EPA's progress in addressing these problems. Specifically, you asked that we (1) evaluate EPA's computer-based controls, (2) determine the extent and impact of computer security incidents at EPA, and (3) evaluate the agency's information security program management. Our objectives, scope, and methodology are discussed in more detail in appendix I. We performed our work in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards."

DOE Standard: Criteria for Packaging and Storing Uranium-233-Bearing Materials
This Standard provides guidance for the packaging and long-term (50 years) storage of stabilized, separated uranium-233(233U)-bearing metals and oxides. Metals are stabilized by removing liquids and pyrophoric materials, and oxides are stabilized by heating in air at an elevated temperature. Design, construction, and testing of the storage container, loading limits of metals and oxides for the storage container(s) and other safety-related requirements for the packaging process are specified. Package surveillance and record-keeping requirements during storage are outlined.

National Institute of Justice 1999 Annual Report to Congress
The Institute's mandate is to marry science to criminal justice problem solving and policy development. Specifically, the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 directs NIJ to: 1) Conduct research about the nature and impact of crime and juvenile offending; 2) Develop new technologies to reduce crime and improve criminal justice operations; 3) Evaluate the effectiveness of criminal justice programs and identify promising new programs; 4) Test innovative concepts and model programs in the field; 5) Assist policymakers, program partners, and justice agencies; 6) Disseminate knowledge to many audiences. This report summarizes the National Institute of Justice's operations, achievements, and overall role in 1999. It reports on key research, evaluation, and technology activities that achieve the Institute's strategic objectives and describes outreach and dissemination efforts. Three appendixes provide information on financial resources, list the awards the Institute made in fiscal year 1999, and list the materials published in fiscal year 1999. Fiscal year 1999 at the National Institute of Justice was characterized by ongoing growth, new collaborations, and continued incremental advances in our understanding of crime and justice issues. This year's report highlights the Institute's major activities and summarizes some of the findings in key areas of interest. During the past several years, NIJ investments have brought together researchers and practitioners in the areas of law enforcement, corrections, substance abuse, and violence against women. These partnerships can inspire incredible cultural changes. These partnerships are surviving beyond the length of Federal funding because the partners see the value they bring to all parties. The growth of NIJ's science and technology portfolio has also been remarkable.

First Responders' Environmental Liability Due to Mass Decontamination Runoff
On April 19, 1999, the Team Leader of the Chemical Weapons Improved Response Team (CWIRT), U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command sent a letter to EPA raising issues concerning first responders' liability during a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) terrorist incident. Specifically, the CWIRT asked about the first responders' liability for spreading contamination while attempting to save lives. Environmental liability resulting from critical lifesaving actions may seem unlikely, but could be a serious concern for many first responders. The question is: Can emergency responders undertake necessary emergency actions in order to save lives in dire situations without fear of environmental liability even when such emergency actions have unavoidable adverse environmental impacts? This concern is not limited to WMD terrorist incidents, it has broad implications for our National Response System (NRS) and frequently is discussed in the hazardous materials response community.

However, it does support joint and Service doctrinal concepts and principles and is a focused collection of consequence management information already published from Federal, state, and local sources, as well as lessons learned from past exercises."

Evaluation of the Need for a Performance Appraisal System for the South Trail Fire Department
"The South Trail Fire Department is a paid fire department and special taxing district that provides fire protection services for approximately 45,000 residents in Lee County, Florida. Increased growth and demand by citizens, as well as the makeup of the fire service itself, has put pressure on the department to provide for better customer service both internally and externally. Citizens demand that employees be ethical, competent, and that officers be responsible. The South Trail Fire Department abandoned its performance appraisal system for all ranks within the department ten years ago, after years of scrutiny. The problem is that no formal evaluation process exists for employees within the South Trail Fire Department. The purpose of this applied research project is to evaluate what types of performance appraisal systems are being used and to evaluate the feasibility for the South Trail Fire Department to implement an employee appraisal system. Evaluative and historical research methodologies were used to answer the following questions. 1) What are the goals and objectives used in current performance appraisals? 2) What are the advantages and disadvantages of performance appraisals? 3) What are other fire departments doing in the area of performance appraisals? 4) What do employees think about performance appraisal systems? The principal procedures used were surveys of local fire departments in addition to a survey of employees within the South Trail Fire Department. The local survey was given to twelve similar sized paid fire departments in Lee County, Florida."
