Structural Review of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 Containment Structure Under Combined Loads for the Systematic Evaluation Program.

摘要

A structural reassessment of the containment structure of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 was performed for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as part of the Systematic Evaluation Program. Conclusions about the ability of the containment structure to withstand the Abnormal/Extreme Environment are presented. The reassessment focused mainly on the overall structural integrity of the containment building for the Abnormal/Extreme Environment. In this case, the Abnormal Environmental condition is caused by the worst case of either a Loss-of-Coolant Accident or a main stream line break. The Extreme Environmental condition is the Safe Shutdown Earthquake.
