2. FCC Week 2016 11 - 15 April 2016 Rome FCC collaboration “fire safety” S. La Mendola and M. Plagge HSE/SEE/XP R. Trant TE/HDO 14/04/2016 2

3. 3 ITSF: a time-tested forum for exchanges on safety S. La Mendola HSE/SEE/XP 14/04/2016

4. 4 Fire safety challenges shared by different physics laboratories S. La Mendola HSE/SEE/XP 14/04/2016

5. 5 Why fire safety justifies a common effort? Fire safety objectives for ordinary surface buildings are reached through compliance with prescriptive compulsory rules. Example: R. 4216-11 of French labor code prescribes that “The maximum evacuation distance to reach a stair is never longer than 40 m”. For unique infrastructures such as the FCC, fire safety objectives are satisfied by performance-based design. S. La Mendola HSE/SEE/XP 14/04/2016 Smoke propagation simulations Probabilistic assessments Evacuation simulations Fire modelling Structural fire resistance

8. 8 Current members of the FCC fire collaboration S. La Mendola HSE/SEE/XP 14/04/2016 Jülich Research Centre (DE) joined the collaboration after the workshop in Lund. A CERN PhD student from the university of Wuppertal (DE) is also involved.

9. 9 Fire protection: workshop at CERN It marked a milestone in the collaboration road map; It included the following topics: Day 1 Air management (smoke extraction) in radioactive facilities Intervention strategies of fire brigade teams Fixed extinguishing systems Day 2 Burning behavior of electric cables Computational fire simulations Performance-based structural fire design Evacuation simulations Draft standards for mine safety S.
