Nuclear Power
Fire risks in nuclear power plants are ubiquitous. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission estimates that the risk of reactor meltdown from fire hazards is roughly equal to the meltdown risk from all other hazards combined - assuming that plants comply with fire protection regulations. The NRC provides specific fire protection objectives that focus on rapid detection, effective control, prompt and efficient extinguishing of fires that can occur in nuclear power stations.
The goal is to protect key assets and critical components important to the safety of people and the facility. Nuclear power operators are required to take in-depth fire protection approaches against potential fire incidents by creating layers of autonomous and automatic fire protection to compensate for human and/or mechanical failures. These include fire protection for electrical panels, transformers, cables, generators and combustible materials.
Under the global standards (e.g. NFPA 805), the goal is to define what protection is needed in specific areas. FirePro specialists, along with safety consultants consider risk insights as well as other factors to better focus attention and resources to design and install cost effective, efficient and environmentally friendly systems to rapidly detect and suppress fire at source preventing its propagation.
Why FirePro.
Leakage
FirePro fire suppression technology is capable of handling small openings in the enclosure that can lead to agent loss.
Compactness
Thanks to their compact size, FirePro generators are an ideal solution for electrical cabinets, as they can fit inside the panel, providing direct protection. The smallest generator in the FirePro series has dimensions of 32 mm (diameter) and 180 mm (height).
Easy to install in new or retrofit projects.
FirePro generators are an "all-in-one" container and are equivalent to the agent storage tank, piping, and nozzles of a pressurized gas system. They are installed directly in the hazard enclosure, without the need for additional space for the system.
