case study.
. Risk impact analysis When Deepwater Horizon, an oil drilling rig part-operated by BP, sank in the Gulf of Mexico following a powerful explosion and fire last year, spilling around 700,000 tons of oil and polluting the shores of Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi, it was almost immediately dubbed an "oil Chernobyl." The accident immediately sparked debate on the future of global energy. Governments started reaching for previously shelved nuclear power generation programs. Less than one year on, an earthquake hit Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant, putting the global energy sector at a crossroads yet again.CNN reporters
Describe and evaluate the impact of the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the Fukushima nuclear power plant incidents on the companys involved, public health and safety, the environment andinternational energy policies and regulation.
Assessment Criteria:
a. Assess the extent of the damages caused by the two incidents on the companies involved (e.g. recorded losses, share prices reduction, public image and reputation, environmental damage and damages to other sectors such as fisheries)
b. Discuss the impact of these incidents on public health and safety, environment and the effect it had on the global energy policy (e.g. radioactive waste, damage to the ecosystems and the international government and public perception regarding energy sources and usage such as the reduction in the use of nuclear power in Germany and Japan)
