Modelling the mitigation of a hydrogen deflagration in a nuclear waste silo ullage with water fog
This output has facilitated the development of strategies to mitigate hydrogen explosion accidents to help maintain the integrity of nuclear waste plants and protect the environment from the threat of uncontrolled radioactive releases. It has been applied by Sellafield Ltd to address knowledge gaps in their current hydrogen safety guidance and assist in the development of safety cases for nuclear decommissioning operations. This research has contributed to saving Sellafield £550 million. Verification: Dr Martin Fairclough, Sellafield Ltd, Warrington, WA3 6JR.
