Safety-analysis report. MISR qualification test system and test site (Modular Industrial Solar Retrofit Project)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7098876· OSTI ID:7098876

The basic Modular Industrial Solar Retrofit (MISR) system has only thermal energy output, incorporates only line-focus type solar collectors, is modular in design, and is capable of operating in an unattended mode. The purpose of the reported safety analysis is to address (1) the potential hazards to the health and safety of the public and Laboratory personnel at Sandia National Laboratories, where qualification testing is to be done, and (2) the adequateness of the protection provided to environment, personnel, and property resulting from the operation and testing of the MISR qualifications test system (QTS). All potential hazards of the MISR systems not routinely encountered and/or accepted by the general public are assessed. These include hazards related to hot surfaces and heat transfer fluids and rotating machinery and optical hazards. Safe operating procedures and emergency procedures are discussed. (LEW)
