Abstract
Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) is being introduced to the fire protection engineering practice both locally and worldwide. The commercial nuclear power industry has also experiencing the impact of this new approach. This paper examines the work performed to assess the relative accuracy of fire models for CANDU nuclear power plant (NPP) applications. The Canadian NPP uses some portions of NUREG/CR-6850 in performing fire PRA. Canadian fire ignition frequencies have been provided by International Fire Data Exchange Project. The CANDU Fire PRA Model can quantitatively evaluate plant damage states and core damage frequencies. This model will assist fire engineers in performing CANDU Fire PRA analysis, by recognizing vulnerabilities related to fire events and will contribute to further improvement of the Canadian NPPs’ safety.
