Title: Piping benchmark problems for the Westinghouse AP600 Standardized Plant

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/442138· OSTI ID:442138

To satisfy the need for verification of the computer programs and modeling techniques that will be used to perform the final piping analyses for the Westinghouse AP600 Standardized Plant, three benchmark problems were developed. The problems are representative piping systems subjected to representative dynamic loads with solutions developed using the methods being proposed for analysis for the AP600 standard design. It will be required that the combined license licensees demonstrate that their solutions to these problems are in agreement with the benchmark problem set.
