DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6409684· OSTI ID:6409684

A program has been underway to evaluate the analysis methods used by industry to qualify nuclear power plant piping. Two objectives of this program are to develop physical benchmarks for validating the accuracy of computer codes used to simulate piping response and to develop improved procedures for calculating the response of multiple supported piping with independent seismic inputs. The status of the program in these two areas is reviewed.
