Large-Scale Sodium Spray Fire Code Validation (SOFICOV) Test

摘要

A large-scale, sodium, spray fire code validation test was performed in the HEDL 850-m exp 3 Containment System Test Facility (CSTF) as part of the Sodium Spray Fire Code Validation (SOFICOV) program. Six hundred fifty eight kilograms of sodium spray was sprayed in an air atmosphere for a period of 2400 s. The sodium spray droplet sizes and spray pattern distribution were estimated. The containment atmosphere temperature and pressure response, containment wall temperature response and sodium reaction rate with oxygen were measured. These results are compared to post-test predictions using SPRAY and NACOM computer codes. (ERA citation 10:036787)
