Step 1. Define Fire Modeling Goals
Determine the length of time that the Main Control Room (MCR) remains habitable after the start of a fire within a low-voltage control cabinet. Follow guidance provided in Chapter 11 of NUREG/CR-6850
(EPRI 1011989), Volume 2, “Detailed Fire Modeling (Task 11).” Note that MCR fire scenarios are treated differently than fires
within other compartments, mainly because it is necessary to consider and evaluate forced abandonment in addition to equipment damage.

Material Properties
For non-burning materials, the most important properties are thermal conductivity, k, density, ρ, and specific heat, cFor specified burning rates, you need:
– Heat Release Rate (HRR) or HRR Per Unit Area (HRRPUA)– Heat of Combustion – energy released per unit mass consumed
For predicting the burning rate, you need:– Heat of Vaporization (liquids)– Heat of Gasification (solids)– Kinetic constants for reaction rates– (typically not used for NPP applications)

Step 3. Select Fire Models
Algebraic Models: FPA algorithm in FIVE and FDTs provides estimate of HGL temperature within a closed, ventilated compartment. – FDTs do not allow for time-dependent HRR
Zone Models: CFAST includes smoke obscuration. MAGIC does not.CFD: Provides more detailed information at exact location of
operators

Applicability of Validation
For the scenario with no ventilation, the classic definition of the Equivalence Ratio does not apply because there is no supply of oxygen in the room. However, it can be shown that there is sufficient oxygen in
the room to sustain the specified fire.

Step 1. Define Fire Modeling Goals
Estimate the effects of fire in a cabinet in a Switchgear Room on nearby cable and cabinet targets. Switchgear Room contains safety-related equipment for both
Train A and Train B that are not separated as required by Appendix R. The purpose of the calculation is to analyze this condition
and determine whether these targets fail, and, if so, at what time failure occurs.Follow guidance provided in Chapter 11 of NUREG/CR-6850
(EPRI 1011989), Volume 2, “Detailed Fire Modeling (Task 11).”

Cables made of polyethylene (C2H4) and polyvinylchloride (C2H3Cl).
Assume effective fuel: C2H3.5Cl0.5

Step 3. Select Fire Models
Algebraic Models: FPA algorithm in FIVE provides estimate of HGL temperature within a closed, ventilated compartment. FDTs do not allow for time-dependent HRR. Both FIVE and FDTs can estimate heat flux from a fire to a target.Zone Models: Both CFAST and MAGIC include algorithms
to estimate the heat flux to and temperature of cable targets.CFD: Typical application of FDS. The primary advantage of a
CFD model for this fire scenario is that the CFD model can predict local conditions at the specific location of the target cables and adjacent cabinet.
