Abstract: The combustion of tributyl-phosphate/kerosene is a typical fire accident in nuclear fuel cycle facilities, and it is an important research content of nuclear fuel cycle safety that cannot be ignored. In this paper, a preliminary study on the solvent fire accidents (combustion area 77.9-2 921.0 mm2) was carried out. The combustion rate of the solvent, the release components of gases, the release of aerosols and their particle size distribution were analyzed by basic experiments. And the differences between experimental results with the published foreign data were analyzed.

Key words: solvent fire, aerosol, nuclear fuel cycle
