Hi,
I'm currently trying to do a quick hand calculation to estimate the amount of smoke I will generate for my fire scenario. My combustible material is a cable made from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). Does anyone know where I can get a value for the smoke production rate of this material?

Typical values are referenced in NUREG 1934 from NRC (https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1231/ML12314A165.pdf). These just come from the SFPE Handbook, 4th Ed., Table 3-4.16
