Title: Research program for seismic qualification of nuclear plant electrical and mechanical equipment. Part I. Survey of methods for equipment and components. Part II. Evaluation of methodology. Part III. Qualification methodology for line mounted equipment. Volume 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6623522

The Research Program for Seismic Qualification of Nuclear Plant Electrical and Mechanical Equipment has spanned a period of three years and resulted in seven technical summary reports, each of which covered in detail the findings of different tasks and subtasks, and have been combined into five NUREG/CR volumes. Volume 1 comprises three parts. Part I reviews the methods currently utilized for seismic qualification of nuclear plant equipment with emphasis on qualification by testing. In this review various anomalies that are associated with qualification are identified. Part II provides an in-depth evaluation of the technical issues/anomalies previously identified. Part III provides an evaluation of the method applicable to line mounted items; e.g., valves.
