Abstract: With the wide usage of nuclear energy,more and more spent nuclear fuel would be produced and accumulated.The spent fuel reprocessing technology recycling the spent fuel is advanced,but the security of spent fuel reprocessing facility is an important premise for the development of the spent fuel reprocessing technology.The solvent fire as one of the design basis accidents,has been an important concern at home and abroad.In order to analyse the combustion behavior of solvent fire,diffusion and deposition behavior of radioactive aerosol,performance of high efficiency filter and so on,the United States,Japan and other countries have established the experimental facilities and the combustion of solvent solution was studied.In this paper,the experimental methods and research results of solvent fire accident are reviewed,and the existing problems and future research directions are put forward.

Key words: solvent fire, tributyl phosphate, kerosene, spent fuel reprocessing plants
