- Abstract
- This paper summarizes the calculations performed at Sandia National Laboratories using COMPBRN fire model for the Heiss Dampf Reaktor (HDR) tests E41.7 and E42.2. A Sandia modified version of COMPBRN III was used for the calculations. Test E41.7 was an oil pool fire and test E42.2 was a cable fire. Both tests were conducted inside a small room within the HDR containment. Calculations were also performed for test E41.7 with the Notre Dame Fire Model. Hot gas layer temperatures and other relevant results are presented. Comparison with experimental data is made, where possible. A brief discussion on the problems encountered in the application of fire models to nuclear power plant fire modeling is also included.
