Fire safety is an important component of the safe operation of nuclear power plant, and is an important aspect of the nuclear safety. The Distributed Intelligent Fire Detect and Alarm System is of high reliability and sensitivity. In this article, some research will be made on how to limit fire damage by improving the system reliability and sensitivity. Fire safety is an important component of ...

This paper addresses the hazards associated with aerosolized hydraulic fluids and other liquids designed to be relatively non-flammable with respect to flashpoint and vapor pressure. The studies presented seek to understand and quantify conditions and circumstances that can produce such hazardous conditions. US Navy personnel are particularly susceptible to fuel aerosol hazards due to the wides...

The worldwide movement from prescription-based to performance-based fire codes is unmistakable and irreversible. In the implementation of such performance-based fire codes, both basic and innovative engineering design tools are needed to analyze potential fire scenarios for relative fire hazards and risk assessment. Among such innovative design tools are fire models, particularly the fire field...

In this paper, a review had been made to the fire safety legislation in Hong Kong. Relevant academic papers published in mainstream journals were also surveyed and discussed. It has been pointed out in the literatures that the local government is taking an “incremental” or “ad-hoc” approach in which fire legislation is added or expanded in response to every tragic fire incident without a total ...

References 17–13 ire safety is an important concern in all types of construction. The high level of national concern for fire safety is reflected in limitations and design requirements in building codes. These code requirements are discussed in the context of fire safety design and evaluation in the initial section of this chapter. Since basic data on fire behavior of wood products are needed t...

On December 5, 2012 a fire broke out in a primary school in Iran, causing injuries to 26 children and two deaths. The fire came from an oil stove. Rather than evacuate the classroom and use the fire extinguisher, the teacher attempted to remove the stove itself from the classroom. During this process an explosion occurred resulting in a haphazard attempt at evacuation. This tragedy highlights g...
