The study is to analysis of fire protection regulations for the nuclear power plants (NPP) in the United States, Japan, the UAE (United Arab Emirates), and Korea with the intention of exporting NPP to the UAE. Fire protection regulations for NPP for these countries permit the fire protection design and facilities in accordance with the evaluation of the potential fire hazards. However, in Korea, the NPP is a part of power generation facilities in Korea fire protection law, and the atomic energy act classifies them as the reactor and related nuclear facilities. The fire protection law and atomic energy act are different to the criteria for the fire protection of NPP. To maintain the leading position as a nuclear exporting country, the performance-based fire hazard analysis should be reasonably incorporated in the design of the fire protection system. It was suggested that the integrated requirements of the fire protection for NPP should be incorporated to the construction article for the fire protection facilities specified in paragraph 2 of Act II, being classified into the special objects to be protected against fire, which requires a performance-based design in order to incorporate the specific requirements for NPP.

$CO_2$ 소화설비는 방호구역 내 적절한 설계농도를 확보하고 또한 일정 시간 유지해 주어야 충분한 소화성능을 발휘할 수가 있다. 따라서 시공 후에도 $CO_2$ 소화설비의 성능을 주기적으로 확인이 필요하다. 석유화학플랜트나 원자력발전소와 같은 국가 중요위험시설은 화재 발생시 대형피해가 발생할 수 있으므로 직접방사시험을 통해 소화성능을 검증할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 국가 중요위험시설에 설치된 전역방출방식의 $CO_2$ 소화설비 중에서 표면화재 방호구역과 심부화재 방호구역을 각각 선정하여 $CO_2$ 소화설비의 소화성능을 검증해 보았다. 시험결과 표면화재와 심부화재 방호구역 모두 $CO_2$ 설계농도를 확보하고 있음을 확인하였으며, 심부화재의 경우 20분 이상 설계농도가 유지되었다. 본 연구를 통해 직접 방사시험 방법 및 판정방법을 소개하였으며, 국가 중요위험시설에는 직접 방사시험을 통한 소화설비 신뢰성 검증의 필요성을 제기하였다.

Jet fire, pool fire, and vapor cloud explosion are major accident scenarios in LPG filling station. The protection wall would mitigate radiation effect in a jet fire. In case of a pool fire, the protection wall would restrict expanding the pool area. The protection wall might both obstruct the dispersion of released vapor and protect blast overpressure in a vapor cloud explosion scenario. In this paper, An availability assessment method of the protection wall how much reduce damage to receptors is proposed. Additionally application cases are presented for the effectiveness of protection wall in the LPG filling station. The study shows that the protection wall can effectively reduce the death probabilities of receptors located behind the wall in cases of the jet fires and the vapor cloud explosions.

From the beginning of the construction stage, the fire protection regulation for the nuclear power plants conforms to the design requirements for the acquisition of the license permit. This regulation is based on the plant status of the normal operation, but it is not enough to be used as an application standard for fire protection at the transient mode of the plant and the outage time for refueling as well as for the plant decommissioning. While the advanced fire protection requirement that has been developed in America recently suggests the performance-based requirement and management rule applicable to the overall life time of the plant, it simply represents the conceptual application. It means that it can not be treated as appropriate standards because it does not deal with the qualitative and quantitative approach in specific ways. By the way, with the use of the performance-based fire risk analysis, the dynamic behavior of the heat and smoke at the fire compartment of the nuclear power plants can be analyzed and the thermal effect to the safety-related equipment and cables can be evaluated as well. At this paper, it suggests the ways to change the applicable fire protection regulations and the required evaluation items for the fire risk resulted from the plant configuration change with an intent to introduce the state-of-the-art quantitative fire risk analysis technology at the domestic nuclear power plants.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present step-by-step countermeasures to prevent fires in sandwich panel warehouses and to enhance on-site fire response capabilities. Method: Interviews of firefighters related to fire sites, advice from fire experts, and experiments on protection performance were conducted to draw up measures for each element to strengthen on-site response capabilities. Result: The fire safety management checklist for warehouse fire safety managers and the installation standards for wall protection of sandwich panel warehouses are presented. In addition, Standard Operational Procedures(SOP) for fire application of sandwich panel warehouses were established for firefighters on-site. Conclusion: Through this study, step-by-step fire safety measures were established for preventing, protecting and suppressing fires in sandwich panel warehouses.

본 연구는 국내 전체 화재발생 건수에서 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있는 주거공간에 대한 화재 및 인명안전의 개선 대책에 관한 기초연구이다. 주거공간은 다른 어떠한 방호공간보다 가장 높은 수준의 안전이 요구되는 소방대상물이다. 국내의 주거공간을 대표하는 공동주택의 안전을 확보하는데 가장 중요한 역할을 하는 것이 화재감시시스템이며 이를 구성하는 요소 중에서도 감지기의 성능이 가장 중요한 역할을 한다. 감지기의 성능은 인간의 두뇌와 같은 기능을 하기 때문이다. 이미 일본의 경우는 공동주택 전용의 화재감시시스템을 개발하고 기준으로 제정하여 널리 보급하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 미국은 공동주택 전용의 화재감시시스템이 별도로 존재하지는 않지만 화재특성 및 화재하중 등에 대한 시험을 통해 다양한 방호공간을 효율적으로 적용할 수 있도록 상세한 코드가 정립되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 공동주택에 적합한 전용 화재감시시스템을 개발하는데 필요한 기초 연구로서 국내와 방재선진외국의 감지기 설치 및 성능을 검증하는데 필요한 설치 및 시험 기준에 대하여 조사하였다.

The fire protection regulation for the nuclear power plants is based on the qualitative fire hazard assessment and the quantitative fire risk analysis, and the fire risk is managed by the fire protection plan with the appropriate balance among the fire prevention, fire suppression and the minimization of the fire effect. In these days, the zone model or the field model is generally used for the detail evaluation for the fire risk. At this paper, with consideration of the present trend, we evaluate whether the quantitative fire risk analysis and the assessment of fire result for fire areas at nuclear power plants can be possible by use of Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) that is the state-of-the-art fire modeling tool. Consequently, it is expected that the quantitative fire risk evaluation propelled by the fire modeling can be available as an applicable tool to improve the core damage frequency as well as the quantitative fire risk analysis.

본 연구에서는 지하 방호공간에서 화재가 발생한 경우 워터커튼 시스템에 의한 연기의 차단효과와 화재제어 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 분사각도 $180^{\circ}$, 오리피스 직경 8.2 mm의 노즐과 지하방호 공간용 실화재 실험 장치를 제작하였으며, 화재강도 1.5 MW 기준 A급 1단위 화재 실험으로부터 온도분포와 가시도를 측정하여 연기의 차단효과를 확인하였다. 화재제어 특성을 분석하기 위해서 NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology)의 해석프로그램인 FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulator)를 사용하여 동일한 실험조건에서 온도분포를 비교하였으며 노즐의 설치개수 변화에 대한 화재해석 및 실험결과로부터 워터커튼 시스템은 노즐의 설치위치와 개수, 화원으로부터의 거리, 제연 등의 설비 조건과 분사 노즐의 특성, 공급 유량 등이 중요한 상관관계를 갖고 있음을 확인하였다.
