Abstract:
Fires in nuclear power plants can be an important hazard for the overall safety of the facility. An important factor in reducing the spread of the fire is the use of fire barriers. However, it is important to be able to quantify the uncertainty of the result of the fire resistance of a fire barrier for fire risk assessment of nuclear power plants. The final report summarises the activities of the project at the different partners which means reliability of fire barriers by calculation tools, determination of uncertainty and sensitivity of input parameters with modelling of fire resistance of fire barriers.
