Safety demonstration tests of solvent fire accidents in a fuel reprocessing plant

Abstract

Demonstration tests to evaluate the safety of air-ventilation system for hypothetical solvent fire in a cell as DBA in an extraction process of nuclear fuel reprocessing plant were carried out by a large-scale fire and filter facility (FFF) in JAERI under the auspices of the Science and Technology Agency of Japan. Demonstration test data were obtained by focusing on fire behavior during solvent burning in the cell, generation of smoke containing simulant fission products from flame, transport and deposition of smoke in ducts, confinement of radioactive materials in the ventilation system and integrity of HEPA filters by using a fire and filter facility simulating a ventilation system of reference reprocessing plant in Japan. The results of the test in the present report were ready for verification of computer codes which evaluate the safety of a reprocessing plant in solvent fire accidents. (author).
