- Abstract
- A program plan for nuclear power plant fire protection research has been presented in this report. The prinicipal objective of the program is to create a data base that would reduce the uncertainties in fire probabilistic risk assessment of plants. A three-pronged approach of characterization of potential fires, determination of the ensuing environment, and determination of failure thresholds of safety-related equipment in that environment is described. The techniques are to be applied to estimating the fire safety margin available in a control room.
