The probability of burn victim survival from BLEVE fireball impacts during an LPG transportation accident can be estimated by understanding the thermal radiation model and the consequences of a BLEVE. The sequence of a BLEVE fireball event is reviewed as guidance in collecting sufficient data and elements to be used throughout this study. The differences between two thermal radiation models which are solid-flame and point-source model have also been distinguished theoretically. Malaysia LPG specification is used to simulate this case study. Thermal radiation by solid-flame model is taken as the main parameter to be compared with few tables, charts and models in determining the consequences of a BLEVE event. Different chances of survival probability are discussed based on a few elements; such as distance, time, age and total burn body surface area.
