Abstract
The experimental and theoretical evidence on the behavior of sodium spray fires in closed vessels is reviewed for applicability to LMFBR containment. Only when the liquid sodium is explosively ejected at very high velocities into air do the experimental pressure and temperature increases approach those predicted from thermodynamic considerations alone. In all other cases, the peak pressures are substantially less than the thermodynamic limit, especially when sodium droplets of the sizes expected in LMFBR accidents are used.
