Optimization of sodium fire suppression system

Technical Report · Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 EST 1985

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/708245· OSTI ID:708245

This report describes the major areas of revision and optimization of the design of the CRBRP Sodium Fire Suppression System (SFSS) following the confirmatory testing program. The design temperatures for the SFSS were substantially increased after the Large Scale Sodium Fire Test (LSSFT) making the original design inadequate. A redesign of the main features was performed in which the experience in the construction of the LSSFT test article was also utilized for optimization. The design criteria, loads and load combinations and revised design are discussed.
