To propose a new fire hazard assessment criteria of interior finish materials, the properties and incident heat flux of interior finish materials in a compartment fires are investigated and compared by using flame spread model developed by Quintiere. The properties considered on which fire growth depend are including flame heat flux and thermal inertia, lateral flame spread parameter, heat of combustion and effective heat flux and thermal inertia, lateral flame spread parameter, heat of combustion and effective heat of gasfication. ISO Room Corner Test(9705) is applied in the model and the time for total energy release rate to reach 1MW is examined. The results are compared for the 24 different materials tested by EUREFIC. Dimensionless parameter a, b and ${\gamma}$b are used to develope a new method in which fire hazard of interior finish materials can be classified resulting from correlation between b and flashover time. Results show that if b greater than about zero, flashover time in the ISO Room-Corner Test is principally proportional to ignition time only.

$CO_2$ 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.

In this paper many vulnerable areas of the present fire PSA methodology were revealed to apply risk-informed fire protection to nuclear power plants. The results and insights from the fro PSA should be used as a part of a risk-informed decision making process rather than the complete technical basis for decision making. The degree of support and scope of applications is dependent on the accuracy and validity of the model used in the fire PSA. Accordingly; the usefulness of the fire PSA will increase as ongoing research and development efforts lead to improvements in the state of the art technology and as improvements in the implementation of the state of the art technology lead to more consistent results.

In this study, poly isocyanurate foam (PIR), poly urethane foam (PUR), and phenol foam (PF) of organic insulation materials were selected, and investigated using a cone calorimeter, as per ISO 5660-1. Standard materials (PMMA) were used to standardize the fire hazard assessment, and the fire risk was classified and evaluated by Chung's equations-III and IV. The fire performance index-II value of Chung's equations-II was the highest value with PF of 14.77 s²/kW. And the PUR was 0.08 s²/kW, the lowest value of fire performance index-II value. The fire growth index-II value was the lowest value with PF of 0.01 kW/s². And the PUR was 1.14 kW/s², the highest value of fire growth index-II value. The fire performance index-III (FPI-III) of Chung's equations-III had the lowest value for PUR (0.11) and the highest for PF (20.23). The PUR showed the highest value of the fire growth index-III (FGI-III) as 14.25, while the PF exhibited 0.13 regarded as the safest materials. The fire risk index-IV (FRI-IV) value of Chung's equation-IV was in the following order: PUR (130.03) >> PIR (19.13) > PMMA (1.00) > PF (0.01). Therefore, it was concluded that the fire risk associated with PF is the lowest, whereas that associated with PUR is the highest.

The hazard assessment in which the potential hazard factors in the buildings are investigated and the scale of the hazard is analysed should be performed first in order to prevent personal and material damages due to building fire. In this study, the building fire hazard are assessed using 822-item checklist, for the qualitative evaluation of which the main factors are classified into 10 items, yielding 100 scale points with some weighting. It is shown that present model is applicable for the assessment model by actual assessment of existing building. Also the checklist is prepared in itemized questionnaire from easy assessment of building fire hazard. Therefore, the present model will be helpful for those working in fire prevention, who are suffering from the lack of manifest evaluation model for the fire prevention assessment so far in Korea.

As the market for portable electronic devices expands, the demand for Lithium Ion Battery (LIB) is also increasing. LIB has higher efficiency than other secondary batteries, but there is a risk of explosion / fire due to thermal runaway reaction. Especially, Electric Vehicles (EV) equipped with a large capacity LIB cell also has a danger due to a large amount of toxic gas generated by a fire. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the risk of toxic gas generated by EV fire to minimize accident damage. In this study, the flow of toxic gas generated by EV fire was numerically analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamic. Scenarios were established based on literature data and EV data to confirm the effect distance according to time and exposure standard. The purpose of this study is to analyze the risk of toxic gas caused by EV fire and to help minimize the loss of life and property caused by accidents.

독일 원자력 발전소에서는 포괄적인 방화 연구의 한 부분으로써 방화에 관한 분석과 그것을 최적화 할 수 있는 확률론적 방법을 개발하였다. 그 일반적인 흐름을 살펴보면, 미국의 화재 위험성 분석의 방법을 따랐으며, 세밀한 부분에서는 약간의 수정을 한 것이다. 먼저, 선정된 공장지역에서의 화재 사건 경로(fire event tree)는 화재가 발생했을 때, 방화 조치와 안전시스템을 능 수동적으로 고려해서 설정된다. 방화 조치와 안전 시스템에 있어서의 실패 모델(failure model)은 발화 후 시간과 화재 영향과 같은 일상적인 변수와 관련해서 생긴다. 이러한 관련성은 일차(first-order) 시스템의 신뢰성 이론을 적절히 이용해서 화재 사건 경로를 분석할 때 알 수 있다. 더불어 화재가 발생했을 떠 방화 시스템의 실패 빈도, event paths의 상대적인 비중, 이러한 path내에서의 방화 조치 그리고 실패모델의 변수 등은 모두 시간 함수로 계산된다. 이러한 자료에 근거를 두고, 방화의 최적화는 주로 event path, 방화조치와 비중이 가장 큰 변수를 수정함으로써 가능하게 된다. 이것은 독일의 1300 MW PWR reference plant를 예를 들어서 증명될 것이다. 또한 충고를 받아들여서 수정을 하는 것은 발전소 직원과 화재 피해의 위험성을 줄일 수 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다.
