The reactor core in boiling water reactors is surrounded by a cylindrical steel shroud. In 1994 routine inspection revealed surface cracks in the shroud welds. These cracks have led to the concern that the damaged shrouds would not be able to withstand the loads encountered during loss of coolant accidents. This paper discusses the load caused by a recirculation line break.
