Nuclear Power Plant Fire Protection - Fire Barriers (Subsystems Study Task 3)

Year: 1979

Type: report

Abstract: Standards currently used in the fire protection field are analyzed in relation to their applicability to nuclear power stations and recommenda tions concerning their improvement are made.Results of mathematical analyses of typical fire barriers are given.Based on the temperature gradient established in the mathematical analyses, a stress analysis of poured concrete walls is described.Recommendations are made for follow up studies and experiments.
