TY - JOUR A1 - Borch, Jörg-Peter A1 - Ulrich, Armin A1 - Blees, Christian T1 - Wärmeeintragsversuche mit Gefahrgutumschließungen auf den neuen Brandprüfständen der BAM - Ein Vergleich von Kerosin/Heizöl- und Propanfeuer N2 - In internationalen Normen und Regelwerken werden zur Überprüfung der thermischen Belastbarkeit von Umschließungen für gefährliche Güter Versuche vorgeschrieben, die u. a. Vorgaben hinsichtlich der Wärmebelastung enthalten. Diese Vorgaben beziehen sich i. d. R. auf ein Kerosin- oder Heizölfeuer, denen die Gefahrgutumschließungen ausgesetzt werden müssen. Versuche mit diesen Medien belasten jedoch die Umwelt in einem heute nicht mehr tragbaren Umfang. Als alternatives Medium bietet sich verflüssigtes Propangemisch (LPG) an. Zur Ermittlung eines äquivalenten Wärmeeintrags mussten vergleichende Versuche durchgeführt werden. Hierzu hat die BAM Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -Prüfung neue Brandprüfstände entwickelt und die nachfolgend beschriebenen Untersuchungen durchgeführt.

Not only for radioactive material transport packages but also for other containments of dangerous goods, international standards require specific thermal load specifications. Following the guideline ‘Safety in technology and chemistry' BAM, as a scientific and technical German federal government institute, operates a 12 km² large open air test facility for experimental investigations of dangerous goods and their containments. On an area beside the well-known 200-ton drop test facility, BAM has put into operation a new fire test facility. This facility provides two fire test stands that utilise liquid propane as fuel from a central, earth-covered 60m³ LPG storage tank. From that storage the propane is pumped via pipelines to the test stands where the gas is released from nozzles, and ignited by ignition burners. The fire exposure test facility areas are 12×8 m. Fire test facility B (with gas release nozzles submerged in a water pool) is designed for fire testing of containers that may burst during the test. Fire test facility A (with ring burner systems) is designed for heavy test objects up to 200 tons, e.g. for full-scale spent fuel casks. This paper presents a detailed description of the facility, insight into first tests performed, and results of calorimeter fire tests, using containers of various sizes, to verify the absorbed heat fluxes, demonstrating that regulatory fire test conditions are met, and that the propane fire is equivalent to a kerosene or heating oil pool fire.

Within regulatory approval of transport or storage packages for radioactive material, specific thermal load tests are required in accordance to licensing conditions and international standards, respectively. The specifications of these thermal tests are based on test conditions with equivalent heat input to that of a hydrocarbon fuel fire. In the past, light heating oil, diesel or kerosene was mostly used as the fuel to generate the pool fire. In accordance with IAEA regulations for a fire in an accident, the temperature of 800 °C over a period of 30 minutes must be fulfilled. Furthermore, the delivery acceptance criteria for containers in nuclear waste repositories could reach for example average temperatures of 800 °C during a period of one hour in combination with defined requirements on activity release. BAM as a scientific and technical German federal government institute operates an open air Technical Safety Test Site for experimental investigations of dangerous good and its containment. In this areal a large fire test facility is under operation. Liquid Propane is utilized as fuel which is pumped via pipelines from a central storage tank to the fire exposed test facility areas. In the ring burner system, the gas is released from nozzles, and ignited by ignition burners. The paper includes examples of fire test performance with prototypes of a transport package and a storage container, respectively. In preparation of the thermal load, calorimeter tests have been performed using test specimens of appropriate size and behavior. For the fire test scenario is demonstrated that the IAEA thermal test requirements are fulfilled.
