Description

EPRI conducting a program to study hydrogen combustion behavior in the LWR containment building environments that could follow severe postulated nuclear accidents. Flammability limits, deflagrations, combustion control methods, equipment survivability, nd hydrogen mixing and distribution in hydrogen, air, steam, and water spray environments have been investigated in several projects. Analytic models and computer codes are also being developed and evaluated for combustion behavior and for hydrogen mixing and distribution processes. (orig.)
