Fire as an external threat
Two nuclear sites have been threatened recently by large scale fires around the perimeter. Dr Richard Burick from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Gary Swearingen from Hanford , will explain the extent of the threat, how their facilities responded, and what lessons should be learned by nuclear operators.
CABLING WORKSHOP
The miles of cabling and extensive I&C systems in any nuclear facility pose special problems for those charged with assuring fire safety. In this session we look at this problem in detail, considering both how I&C components are affected by fire, and the effects of fire damage on the system as a whole. Experience from power plants and from other facilities is welcomed.
Papers include:
Behaviour of French electrical cables under fire conditions Remy Bertrand, IPSN/DES/SERS, France
Assessing the fire performance of electric cables (FIPEC) Steve Grayson, Interscience Communications, UK
Quantification of acute effects of smoke on insulation resistance of electronics Mangs & O Keski-Rahkonen, VTT Building Technology, and M Letonsaari, Applied Electronics Laboratory, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland
