“…Assessment corresponding to the traditional pass/fail criteria was established. Based on a number of bench-scale and full-scale experiments, Lee 19 found that the HRRPUA of cables within stacked horizontal trays was approximately 0.45 times that measured using the Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC) apparatus. A correlation model for the prediction of fire performance of electrical cables based on the results of small-scale tests was studied in the Fire Performance of Electrical Cables (FIPEC) project.…”

Electric cable fires in nuclear power plants could be disastrous and have to be studied carefully for safety and economic considerations. Based on the results of previous work on large-scale and bench-scale cable fire testing, the Flame Spread over Horizontal Cable Trays model was modified and improved to estimate the heat release rate of large-scale cable fires using bench-scale measured data. The heat release rate per unit area measured in the cone calorimeter experiment is taken as the input, to avoid introducing any prediction uncertainties caused by inconsistent values of the heat of combustion and char yield of the cable. Cable fire experiments with vertical stacks of trays with one to three layers of cables were conducted in open space to assess the accuracy of the improved model. In comparing with the experimental results, predictions using the improved model are encouraging. The local error of prediction is less than 15% and the global error lies between 19.2% and 35.7%. In addition, three cable tray fire experiments with data available in the literature were used to validate the improved model. It is shown that the improved model had good predictions for these cable tray fires.

Note that the methods and procedures given below are examples and do not represent the only methods (nor necessarily the most accurate) available, but rather that they are compatible with the input requirements of the HAZARD I software.…”

A large number of people assisted in the development of the HAZARD I methodology. J. E. Snell provided the initial concept of HAZARD I and continued support throughout the development of the methodology. A. J. Fowell provided guidance in the overall logic of the hazard assessment methodology. V. Babrauskas and B. C. Levin developed the tenability criteria for heat flux, temperature, and smoke obscuration. B. C. Levin provided data for tenability limits for toxic gases. B. M. Levin developed the first version of the evacuation model. W. D. Walton developed the version of DETACT used in HAZARD I. E. Braun wrote FIREDATA and provided the basis for the database portions of the methodology. P. Reneke, N. Breese, C. Arnold, A. B. Fadell, and P. Martin assisted in the software development. The expertise of the Fire Services Panel and the Building Configuration Panel was key in providing an unbiased and representative set of example cases to test the HAZARD I methodology. The authors are indebted to the
