Thermal Measurements in a Series of Large Pool Fires
During the summer of 1983, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) conducted a series of pool fire tests in which the test item was a 5-ft-dia, 21-ft-long, mild steel calorimeter that weighed approx.11 tons. The purpose of these tests was to study the thermal response of a large test item in a specified fire configuration, to define thermal boundary conditions, and to assess the repeatability of the fire environment. The calorimeter was used to simulate a nuclear waste transportation cask in both a geometric and thermal sense. The test program and initial evaluations were funded by the Federal Rail Administration of the US Department of Transportation (DOT). Additional evaluations and the production of this report were supported by the US Department of Energy (DOE). This project was directed by the Transportation Technology Center at SNL. 21 refs., 121 figs., 6 tabs. (ERA citation 13:005436)
