Abstract
These tests were carried out at the request of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to obtain information on the fire endurance of several configurations of NRC-supplied "1-hour" and "3-hour" fire-barrier panels when tested as horizontal planar units in a pilot-scale furnace. The test configurations were chosen primarily to assess the effects of the presence and perimeter constraints of a wire-mesh covering integral to one or both surfaces of these barrier panels.
