Buckling of the Tank 241SY101 primary liner

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:40668
This document describes the computation of the buckling pressure of the primary liner of Tank 241SY101. It describes the calculation of the negative gauge pressure required to buckle the liner. A negative pressure may develop inside the tank when water is sprayed on the hydrogen mitigation pump during its removal. Calculations indicate that the liner will buckle at 23,442 Pa, or 239 cm of water.
