Abstract

One of the objectives of the Fire Protection Research Program (FPRP) of the U.S. NRC is to improve the modeling of environments caused by fires in ty-pical nuclear power plant enclosures. A three-dimensional fluid dynamics computer code (PHOENICS) has been adapted as a field-model fire code (SAFFIRE) for this purpose. The model has been applied to simulate two distinct fires in the control room of the LaSalle County power plant. The environments determined illustrate hazardous potential for both personnel and equipment.
