Measurements in Large Pool Fires With an Actively Cooled Calorimeter·

The pool fire thermal test described in Safety Series 6 published by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 71 ( 10 CFR 71) in the United States is one of the most difficult tests that a container for larger \"Type B\" quantities of nuclear materials must pass. If retests of a container are required, costly redesign and project delays can result. Accurate measurements and modeling of the pool fire environment will ultimately lower container costs by ensuring that containers past the pool fire test on the first attempt.
