Abstract

Standards currently used in the fire protection field are analyzed in relation to their applicability to nuclear power stations and recommendations concerning their improvement are made. Results of mathematical analyses of typical fire barriers are given. Based on the temperature gradient established in the mathematical analyses, a stress analysis of poured concrete walls is described. Recommendations are made for followup studies and experiments.
