Wesleyville pool-fire test facility. Report No. 90-85-K

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5739150
Before nuclear waste containers can be used for transportation, their survivability during a postulated fire accident scenario must be demonstrated to regulatory authorities. Past experience with external fire test facilities revealed that to meet Ontario Hydro's fire test requirements (flame temperature, fire duration, flame size, etc.) and time schedule, an in-house fire test facility was needed. This report describes the history of events from the site selection, small-scale testing, the full scale design, and construction of the facility to the kerosene fires performed to date.
