The objectives of the Fire Protection Research Project at Sandia Laboratories are: (1) to provide data either to confirm the suitability of current design standards and regulatory guides for fire protection and control in light water reactor power plants or to indicate areas where those standards should be upgraded; (2) to obtain data that will provide improved technical bases either for modification of the standards and guides for developing new standards and guides where necessary (such changes are to be made where appropriate to decrease the vulnerability of the plant to fire, to provide for better control of fires, to mitigate the effects of fires on plant safety systems, and to remove unnecessary design restriction); (3) to obtain fire effects data for water reactor safety system equipment and to assess design concepts, improved equipment, and fire prevention data and methods that can be used to reduce the vulnerability of the plant safety to fire. Work on the project to date is summarized.
