EXTINGUISHMENT OF ALKALI METAL FIRES.
Abstract
An investigation was made of agents and techniques for extinguishment and control of fires resulting from leakage of high temperature and high pressure alkali metals under sea level and reduced atmospheric pressure environments. Characteristics of ignition and combustion at various absolute pressures and partial pressures of oxygen are an integral part of this investigation. Additional tests have been made with TEC powders. Results with this material are very encouraging. Work continued on the development of a suitable foam applicating system for alkali metal fires but a suitable system was not devised. (Author)
