Sodium-Fire Protection by Space Isolation, Open Catch Pan and Nitrogen Flooding - FFTF Proof Test F5
A large-scale sodium fire extinguishment test was performed to demonstrate the adequacy of the FFTF secondary sodium fire protection system. Twenty-three hundred pounds of sodium at 1100 exp 0 F were spilled into an air filled cell which had a steel catch pan protecting the concrete floor and walls. The fire was self-extinguished when the oxygen in the relatively leak tight cell was consumed by sodium-oxygen reaction. Nitrogen flooding was started after 15 minutes to maintain an inert atmosphere during cooling. Only 5.7% of the sodium was reacted during the test. Approximately 100 lb. of water were released from the concrete, one tenth of which reacted to form hydrogen. It was concluded that all aspects of the test results were predictable and that the FFTF secondary sodium fire protection system was verified. (ERA citation 08:002290)
