The LOFT Reactor Lower Core Support Plate has been analyzed using LOCA plus SSE loading. The LOCA loading was obtained from LTR 1115-39, Ref. 1, which used LOCA pressures from Ref. 5. SSE loading on the Lower Core Support Plate was obtained from LTR 1115-31, Ref. 2. The combination of LOCA plus SSE is considered a faulted loading condition. The analysis showed the lower Core Support Plate to be structurally adequate and that it meets all of the ASME Section III requirements for faulted conditions. A listing of the computer code used in this analysis is contained in Appendix B. 10 figs.
