الوصف: The Container Analysis Fire Environment computer code is used to simulate the response of a truck package designed to transport one PWR fuel assembly to 7.2-m-diameter pool fires. Simulations are performed with the package centered over the fire, and offset axially from that location by 1 and 2.5 m. In all simulations the package body is 1 m above the fuel pool. The simulations predict the package containment seal exceeds its temperature of concern for all three package locations. Simulations of a no-impact-limiter version of the package are also performed to quantify the level of thermal protection provide by the limiter. The minimum fire duration that causes the seal to reach its temperature of concern is determined for each configuration. When the center of the no-impact limiter package is within 2.5 m of the pool center, fires shorter than 0.7 hour are capable of causing the seal to reach its temperature of concern. By contrast, the intact package protects the seal in fires that last roughly 2 hours. These results will help risk analysts better understand the effect of package position and the role of the impact limiters on accident consequences.Copyright © 2005 by ASME
