Actual Fire Safety Issues of Low-Power Nuclear Plants
This article reviews the general aspects of the prospects for the use of low-power nuclear plants (LPNP) as well as their scope of application and conditional classification in the context of ensuring fire safety. The potential fire hazards of low-power reactors were assessed because of their diversity and wide scope of applications, characteristics of layout solutions, various placement options, and operating conditions. An analysis of possible deviations from fire safety requirements and potential difficulties in the approval of documentation by supervisory and regulatory authorities was performed. The issues related to the insufficiency of fire safety requirements and the necessary substantiating materials are highlighted. Three main aspects of fire safety, namely, nuclear and radiation safety, human safety, and investment security, are considered. Herein, we have proposed the methods for confirming the compliance of LPNP with fire safety requirements, the main approaches to achieve the necessary levels of safety and efficiency and the use of innovative fire protection technologies.
