Abstract

Since early 1975, Sandia National Laboratories has been conducting fire protection research for the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Testing has been done on grouped electrical cable fires including electrical initiation, fire propagation, the effects of fire retardant coatings and barriers, suppression, and characterization of the damageability of electrical cables. In addition, several studies of a more generic nature such as fire detection, ventilation, and fire-hazards analysis methodologies were performed.

This report condenses all of the test results, reports, papers, and research findings of the past seven years. Research conducted by contractors to Sandia National Laboratories is also summarized.
