Fire protection review revisit No. 2, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois
Technical Report

OSTI ID:5517525
A fire protection survey was conducted at Argonne National Laboratory on April 1-5, 8-12, and April 29-May 2, 1985. The purpose was to review the facility fire protection program and to make recommendations or identify areas according to criteria established by the Department of Energy. There has been a substantial improvement in fire protection at this laboratory since the 1977 audit. Numerous areas which were previously provided with detection systems only have since been provided with automatic sprinkler protection. The following basic fire protection features are not properly controlled: (1) resealing wall and floor penetrations between fire areas after installation of services; (2) cutting and welding; and (3) housekeeping. The present Fire Department manpower level appears adequate to control a ''routine'' fire. Their ability to adequately handle a high-challenge fire, or one involving injuries to personnel or fire spread beyond the initial fire area is doubtful.
