Abstract
Fast breeder reactor structures are designed with large thin shells (typically about 20 meters diameter for 20 millimeters of thickness for Super Phenix or other pool type demonstration plant projects) and loaded with a Low Level of pressure and large cyclic thermal transient during the in service operation conditions, but shall be available to support without damage the dynamic pressures due to fluid structure interaction under seismic loading or other hypothetical situations. Such structures are susceptible to buckle and relatively large geometrical imperfections cannot be avoided. Even if buckling is not, strictly speaking a damage since the induced deformations can be limited, its appearance may induce failure mode as elastic or elastoplastic instability and in certain cases, increases the risks of fatigue damage or progressive deformation. This latter phenomenon may in its turn increase the risks of instability. Buckling may be accelerated or amplified by geometrical imperfections permitted by the manufacturing tolerances. The RCC-MR Design rules against buckling, edited in 1985 with the first edition, of the french design and construction code for fast breeder reactors, are under reviewing and should undergo large modification in the next times.
