【 摘 要 】

Numerical modeling was used to assess the effects of nearby contamination of hypothetical fire-suppression activities. The modeling focused on the 333 Building as being representative of a 'worst case' situation in deactivated buildings at the Hanford Nuclear Site in Washington State. For purposes of the analysis, the fire-suppression sprinkler systems of these buildings were assumed to have been deactivated, requiring that the hypothetical fires be extinguished using water supplied by nearby fire hydrants. The amount of water specified by Fire-Protection personnel as needed to extinguish a hypothetical fire was specified as 1,500 gpm for 2 hours, for a total of 180,000 gallons or about 681 m(sup 3).
