Fire Protection Research for DOE Facilities: FY 84 Year-End Report
Fire prevention is the ultimate form of fire safety and is the primary motivation of our program. DOE safety managers recognize the need to understand new fire risk conditions that can emerge as new energy-producing technologies are developed, and also the need to develop counter-measures to combat these changing fire risks. This Year-End Report contains data and analyses of the final year for 'Phase One' of the project ''Fire Protection Research for DOE Facilities.'' Information presented here includes descriptions of: experiments to gain a better understanding of smoke transport and corrosive gas content of smoke along a horizontal path; experiments to understand the burning characteristics and heat production from electrical cable arrays; development of an enclosure fire model to define the hot-layer temperature for forced-ventilated rooms, and a logic diagram that defines allowable limits for enclosure fire model predictions; and procedures for parametric analysis of the reliability of the LLNL water-supply system, and an outline of our protocol for assessing fire risk in any size enclosure. Because this is the last report of this phase of our project, a synopsis of results from the efforts of previous years serves as an introduction. 18 refs., 32 figs., 24 tabs. (ERA citation 11:017024)
