Title: Screening criteria for the verification of seismic adequacy of piping systems

Abstract

This paper describes practical screening criteria to be used by engineering walkdown teams, for the evaluation of seismic adequacy of piping systems. The application of the screening criteria to a nuclear facility are described and compared to the results achieved using conventional analytical techniques. 13 refs.
