description: The topic of the final qualifying work: Improving the methodology for assessing the potential risk for accidents associated with the formation of drifting explosive-flammable vapor-gas clouds. The study is aimed at improving the methodology for assessing the potential risk for accidents involving explosive vapor-gas drifting clouds in terms of accounting for the process of changing the explosive part of the fuel-air mixture cloud. Object of research: methodology for assessing the potential risk for accidents with the explosion of drifting vapor-gas clouds. Subject of research: taking into account the processes of mass reduction during the drift of vapor-gas clouds when calculating the potential risk. The research used such methods of scientific cognition as analysis, comparison, synthesis, abstraction, concretization, generalization, formalization, deduction, analogy, modeling, thought experiment, the method of analyzing knowledge systems, problem formulation, hypothesis building and the study of literature, documents and results of activity. As a result of writing the final qualifying work, accidents at hazardous production facilities of the oil and gas complex in the Russian Federation, the largest accidents involving the release of hazardous substances with the subsequent formation of clouds of fuel-air mixtures and their further drift, the causes and factors contributing to the occurrence and development of accidents associated with explosions of fuel-air mixtures and the objects on which an explosion of a fuel-air mixture is possible are described. Based on the data obtained, the methods of assessing the affected areas in the event of explosions of fuel-air mixtures and assessing the potential risk, as well as factors affecting cloud drift, were analyzed. As a result, it is concluded that it is necessary to improve existing methods for assessing the potential risk for accidents associated with the drift of fuel-air mixtures, since the current approach does not take into account the process of scattering the mass of the cloud of fuel-air mixture during its drift from the accident site. The result of the final qualifying work is a proposal to improve the methodology for assessing the potential risk for accidents associated with the formation of drifting explosive vapor-gas clouds, in terms of taking into account changes in the mass of the fuel-air mixture cloud during its drift when calculating the value of potential risk in a specific area.
