Abstract
This report contains an attendance list, handout materials, copies of visuals from invited papers, and notes from three breakout sessions held during a June 30 to July 2 workshop. The purpose of the workshop was to gather information and support for a study to quantify the performance and reliability of fire detection and suppression systems, and of compartmentation, and the degree to which any one could be reduced or eliminated without undue risk of loss. The workshop and study are being conducted as required in PL 102-522.
