International Collaborative Project to Evaluate Fire Models for Nuclear Power Plant Applications: Proceedings of 5th Meeting. Held at National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, MD 20899 on May 2-3, 2002

摘要

The 5th Meetings of the International Collaborative Project to Evaluate Fire Models for Nuclear Power Plant Applications was hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and held at NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Maryland on May 2 and 3, 2002. Thirty-thee participants from five countries, France, Germany, UK, Finland, and the US attended the international meeting. Seventeen organizations including regulatory agencies, research institutions, nuclear utilities, industry groups, professional organizations, consultants, and academia were represented at the meeting. The objective of the International Collaborative Project to Evaluate Fire Models for Nuclear Power Plant Applications is to share the knowledge and resources of various organizations to evaluate and improve the state of the art of fire models for use in nuclear power plant (NPP) fire safety analysis. The project is divided into two phases. The objective of the first phase is to evaluate the capabilities of current state-of-the-art fire models (empirical, zone, lumped-parameter, and computational fluid dynamic) for fire safety analysis in NPPs. The second phase will implement beneficial improvements to current fire models that are identified in the first phase, and extend the validation database of those models.
