Kartläggning och kvalitativ analys av möjligheter och risker med reducerad syrehalt i brandceller innehållande elektrisk utrustning

Abstract
Fires can be an important hazard for the overall safe operation of nuclear power plants. Prevention of fire, fast detection and efficient extinguishment of a fire are some parameters, which are important to consider when designing the fire safety in a nuclear power plant. As an alternative to extinguishment system the use of hypoxic air or hypoxic air venting has been introduced e.g. in storage room of a museum or a historical building. This system is now being proposed for use in fire compartments in nuclear power plants containing electrical equipment such as electrical cabinets, cable trays, etc. This reports is a pre-study to investigate the risk and advantages of this system for use in these types of rooms. This report also stipulates... (More)
Fires can be an important hazard for the overall safe operation of nuclear power plants.

This report also stipulates a number of areas where more research or investigations are necessary. The results in this report are based on a literature review of scientific publications and specific technical standards available in the area in combination with the technical expertise of the authors. The report should not be seen as a final evaluation of hypoxic air venting systems. (Less)
