Sandia CFD Transport Code Initial copies of the code were distributed to a 10 member users group in the beginning of December The group was requested to provide feedback by April 1, Airbus was the only user to provide feedback. Comments were requested at the last meeting in Ottawa on a mechanism to provide funding to Sandia for future efforts that might be required to support private industry users of the code. No comments were received.

Cargo Fire Detection Project An industry/regulators meeting was held in the Seattle area in September 2004 to discuss fire detector certification testing standards. There was no support for a flaming fire as a detection standard. A draft report of the cargo fire detection standardization test project has been written and will be published shortly.
