Survey of supression of sodium fires in liquid metal fast breeder reactors
Description:
A survey was made of protection and suppression technologies relative to liquid sodium fires at selected sites. These technologies will find application in the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) program. Based on this survey, a series of conclusions and recommendations are given. Dry type powder agents will only be of use of relatively small sodium fires. Large fires will be extinguished by inerting the chamber or collecting pans where the sodium leak occurs.
