A numerical study of the sloshing response of a reactor tank with deck-mounted components on the sloshing wave heights, wave patterns, and wave frequencies are investigated. The sloshing pressures exerted on the deck-mounted components are determined. For the case studied, the maximum sloshing pressure on the IHX or pump is 0.034 MPa (5 psi). It will produce an additional bending stress of the magnitude of 27.5 approx.48.2 MPa (4-7 ksi) on the components and should be added to the other stresses obtained from the conventional seismic analysis for the design of deck-mounted components.
