Fire Protection Engineer responsible for reviewing fire models used in a Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (FPRA). The FPRA required analyzing a large number of ignition sources throughout multiple power plants for impact on nuclear operations. The analysis required a combination of fire modeling software.

Fire Protection Engineer responsible for generating fire models to determine smoke detector coverage requirements. Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and Consolidated Fire and Smoke Transport (CFAST) were used to ensure detection met performance objectives for sensitive areas.

Fire Protection Engineer responsible for evaluating fire spread between suited electrical cabinets. Fire Dynamics Simulator was used to evaluate temperatures inside a cabinet due to a fire inside an adjacent cabinet.

Fire Protection Engineer responsible for performing fire models as part of a Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (FPRA). The FPRA required analyzing a large number of ignition sources for impact on nuclear operations. Fire Dynamics Tools were used to model thousands of scenarios throughout the multi-unit power plant.

Fire Protection Engineer responsible for performing fire models as part of a Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (FPRA). The FPRA required analyzing a large number of ignition sources for impact on nuclear operations. Fire Dynamics Tools were used to model thousands of scenarios throughout the power plant.

Fire Protection Engineer responsible for determining the effectiveness of an alternate means of detection. Due to harsh conditions, wiring for a detection system had degraded. Fire Dynamics Simulator was used to determine if the other detection systems in the area would provide reasonable coverage.

Fire Protection Engineer responsible for evaluating code deficiencies under NRC Generic Letter No. 86-10, Implementation of Fire Protection Requirements. The evaluation considered actual plant conditions to determine if an equivalent or adequate level of protection was maintained.

Fire Protection Engineer responsible for demonstrating that an adequate level of protection exists with variations in sprinkler and fire alarm systems designs. Fire Dynamics Simulator was used to model the hazards in fire compartments to determine if modifications were required or to provide a performance-based justification for the existing configuration …
