Abstract

The typical 60Co irradiation room of hanging chain conveyor has been taken as a research subject. Ignition temperatures of common radiation cargo were measured through the experiment method, minimum ignition temperature is 210 °C. To get the temperature variation and temperature field under stuck radioactive sources, a fire scenario was presented and simulated by FDS. The results show that temperatures rise faster when stuck radioactive source broke out within an hour. As the growth of the time, the temperature has been on the rise, but slowly. The stuck radioactive source occurred after 11.9 days later, local temperatures can reach 210 °C, radiation cargo may be ignited..
