II. Further Information
In 2007, the NRC’s Office of Nuclear
Regulatory Research and the Electric
Power Research Institute (EPRI) under a
joint Memorandum of Understanding,
together with the National Institute of
Standards and Technology, conducted a
research project to verify and validate
five fire models that have been used for
nuclear power plant applications. The
results of that effort were documented
in a seven-volume report, NUREG–1824
(EPRI 1011999), Verification &
Validation of Selected Fire Models for
Nuclear Power Plant Applications.
Technical review of fire models is
necessary to ensure that analysts can
judge the adequacy of the scientific and
technical basis for the models, select
models appropriate for a desired use,
and understand the levels of confidence
that can be placed in the results
predicted by the models. The work was
performed using state of the art fire
dynamics calculation methods/models
and the most applicable fire test data.
The NUREG–1824 (EPRI 3002002182),
Verification & Validation of Selected
Fire Models for Nuclear Power Plant
Applications, Supplement 1, expands
on the previous verification and
validation effort and evaluates the latest
versions of the five fire models
including additional test data for
validation of the models. As with the
previous effort, the results are reported
in the form of ranges of accuracies for
the fire model predictions and, the
project was performed in accordance
with the guidelines that the American
Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) set forth in ASTM E 1355–12,
Standard Guide for Evaluating the
Predictive Capability of Deterministic
Fire Models (2012).
