Fire Protection of Confinement Ventilation Systems
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Fires in industrial and nuclear facilities have been caused by a variety of
energy sources, including electrical energy and spontaneous combustion of
pyrophoric metals. While fixed fire suppression systems or operator intervention
have limited the size and consequences of most of these fires, some did
propagate and cause significant damage and material release.
In
this course the student will learn about fire prevention and protection of the
confinement ventilation systems in industrial and Government facilities, such as
energy production reactors, fuel processing and reprocessing facilities,
research establishments, special applications facilities, waste processing
plants, and storage and salvage sites.
The
student is expected to read and review the material contained in the DOE
Handbook Nuclear Air Cleaning Handbook, DOE HDBK-1169-2003 Chapter 10 Fire
Protection
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of
twenty (20) questions at the end of
this course to obtain PDH credits.
