This paper establishes a fire risk assessment model of jet fire for liquefy gas tank based on the “THORNTON” jet fire and its thermal radiation impact model and the radiation intensity and damage/failure criterion. Taking a hydrogen-storage-tank area in a chemical company of Tianjin as an example, the fire explosion hazard of jet fire accident is evaluated. The results show that when the tank in a jet fire, the fire damage radius is big that directly threat to the remaining three hydrogen storage tank in tank yard, people will be hardly hurt and nearby equipment and buildings will be destroyed; when the amount of hydrogen leakage is large, if effective measure is not taken, other hydrogen storage tanks will occur chain explosion which is a devastating damage to the whole hydrogen generator.
