Evaluation of sodium pool fire and thermal consequence in two-cell configuration

Ohno, Shuji  ; Takata, Takashi  ; Tajima, Yuji*

From various kinds of sodium fire situations postulated in SFR plants, the present paper treats the sodium pool fire and subsequent heat transfer behavior in an important air atmosphere two-cell geometry as one of the important cell configuration conditions. The detailed analysis and investigation of sodium fire and thermal-hydraulics in horizontally arranged two cells with an opening between them are made both from experimental measurement and from numerical simulation with a multi-cell sodium fire analysis code SPHINCS.
