Abstract
Fire is one of the significant contributors to the overall risk of core damage at a nuclear power plant (NPP). Potential sources of fire include permanent plant equipment such as motors, transformers, and electrical enclosures and combustibles that might be present due to maintenance and surveillance operations. These non-permanent sources are considered transient combustibles, and they could potentially be located in any area of the plant where there is personnel access. In most plants these transient materials wind up as the number two or three source of fire risk.Proceedings Title
