OSTI ID:6439858
This paper presents a seismic analysis of a 400-MWe pool-type fast reactor subjected to horizontal support excitation. Two types of analyses are performed - the fluid-structure interaction analysis and the sloshing analysis. In the fluid-structure interaction analysis, the fluid coupling between various components are investigated. The maximum horizontal acceleration for the reactor core and the relative displacement between the reactor core and UIS (Upper Internal Structure) are examined. Seismic stresses at critical areas are calculated. In the sloshing analysis, the sloshing frequency and wave patterns are calculated. The maximum wave height and the sloshing forces exerted on the submerged components and the primary tank are evaluated.
