Maximum Credible Accident Analysis (MCA Analysis) is one of the methodologies evolved to identify worst credible accident with maximum damage distance, which is still believed to be probable. The analysis does not include quantification of probability. The following is an attempt in that direction. Hazardous substance may be released as a result of failures of catastrophes, causing damage to the surrounding area. The physical effects resulting from the release of hazardous substances are calculated by means of models. The results thus obtained through modeling are used to translate the physical effects in terms of injuries and damage to exposed population and
