Introduction to Structure Seismic Design and Analysis of the Third Generation Nuclear Power Plant
-
Abstract
After the technical standard implementation of ASCE/SEI 43-05 which is seismic design criteria for structures, system and components in nuclear facilities, the structure seismic design and analysis have the essential distinction between the second generation and the third generation nuclear power plant, then U. S.A. has carried out a series of corresponding nuclear regulation and technical standard to adapt to the changes of structure seismic design and analysis for the third generation nuclear power plant. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission in U. S.A. has revised the nuclear regulation and technical standard according to the the new versions of Seismic System Analysis SRP 3.7 Rev.3 in 2007 and SRP 3.7 Rev.4 in 2014, which confirms the stricter criteria for the seismic design of structures, system and components in nuclear facilities. More than 40 years of practical experience in structure seismic design and analysis from Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute has been reviewed, then the latest nuclear technical standard, main contents and analysis methods are introduced, finally the research work provides some guidance for further nuclear practical engineering.
