Special issue on PRISME-Fire safety in nuclear facilities

摘要

Fire safety at nuclear installations is a key topic shared by many actors in the nuclear industry such as nuclear licence operators and nuclear Technical Safety Organisations (TSO) with the support of academic research institutes. Fire safety assessments and operational experience gained from fire events have shown that fire contributes significantly to the overall fuel damage frequency for both existing and new-build plant designs. Consequently, there is a constant need to understand the risks inherent to fire for nuclear facilities and the capability of new tools to address these risks.
