Improvement of fire protection measures for nuclear power plants

Improvements of fire protection measures for nuclear power plants were performed as following items: Collection of necessary data and evaluation of parameters, Walk down in the typical BWR and PWR plants, Application of developed analysis method to actual plants, Development of fire hazard analysis manual. With regard to fire tests for the fire data acquisition, the test plan was made about cable fire, oil fire and electric cabinet fire in the concrete test facilities. Implementation of fire hazard analysis model and simulation were performed as following items: Fire analysis codes FDS, CFAST were implemented in order to analyze the fire progression phenomena, Trial calculation of fire hazard for typical NPP by FDS were performed for the Auxiliary feed water pump room (PWR) and the High pressure coolant flooder pump room (BWR).
