Abstract
This report documents preliminary Hydrogen Burn Survival
(HBS) Program experimental and analytical work conducted through
February 1982. The effects of hydrogen deflagrations on safety related
equipment in nuclear power plant containment buildings
are considered. Preliminary results from hydrogen deflagration
experiments in the Sandia Variable Geometry Experimental System
(VGES) are presented and analytical predictions for these tests
are compared and discussed. Analytical estimates of component
thermal responses to hydrogen deflagrations in the upper and lower compartments of an ice condenser, pressurized water reactor are also presented.
