Proponent: Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA)

Version-Date: 2.0/July 1996

Summary: The Hazard Assessment System for Consequence Analysis (HASCAL) is part of HPAC. It includes the Second-order Closure Integrated PUFF (SCIPUFF) model for turbulent transport, a new and advanced technology that provides a highly efficient and accurate prediction for a wide range of hazard scenarios. The HASCAL system is used for assessing potential hazards associated with conventional attacks on biological, nuclear, and chemical facilities or from nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. In addition, HASCAL provides the ability to calculate nearly any atmospheric transport incident for which the source term can be estimated.
