Title: QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF FIRE SEPARATION AND BARRIERS

Conference ·
OSTI ID:903094

Fire barriers, and physical separation are key components in managing the fire risk in Nuclear Facilities. The expected performance of these features have often been predicted using rules-of-thumb or expert judgment. These approaches often lack the convincing technical bases that exist when addressing other Nuclear Facility accident events. This paper presents science-based approaches to demonstrate the effectiveness of fire separation methods.
