520 |a"Derailments involving crude oil trains have raised concerns among some regulators and stakeholders that sloshing, or bulk movement, of crude oil in tank cars is potentially increasing the risk of derailment of trains carrying this commodity. National Research Council Canada (NRC) was commissioned by Transport Canada (TC) to gather evidence (if any) that movement of liquid in a tank car (i.e., sloshing) could contribute or is contributing in any way to derailments of trains carrying liquid dangerous goods, and if the evidence supports further investigation. This might include, but not be limited to, physical testing, Finite Element Analysis and detailed evaluations of the effects of fill ratio and commodity type on rail safety"--Executive summary, p. xiii.
