Abstract
Abstract An “International Collaborative Project to Evaluate Fire Models for Nuclear Power Plant Applications” (ICFMP) has been started in 1999 to improve the reliability and the applicability of different fire models with respect to applications for nuclear plants. Within the frame of this project five benchmark exercises (BE) have been conducted from different organizations to represent various fire scenarios. Two of these five benchmark exercises (BE No. 4 and No. 5) have been performed at iBMB in Germany during 2002 and 2004. In BE No. 4 a large pool fire inside a compartment (with a volume of ≈ 76 m3) with respect to under-ventilated situations has been examined in a series of tests. In BE No. 5 four full scale cable tray fire tests have been performed in the same compartment, but with a different construction of the ceiling. The cable tray fire test series with vertically orientated cables considered pre-heating effects and includes time dependent electrical functional failure measurements. In this paper, an overview of the specification and of the experimental results of Benchmark Exercises No. 4 and No. 5 is given.
