HGTR Base Technology Program: Prestressed Concrete Nuclear Pressure Vessel Development (189a 01331) Milestone 2b

摘要

This report is the culmination of an extensive experimental and analyticalinvestigation of the loading response of PCRV head regions conducted by theUniversity of Illinois under the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Program ofPrestressed Concrete Nuclear Pressure Vessel Development (189a 01331). Thestudies undertaken under this task area were unique relative to other portionsof the program owing to the complex geometries and states of stress encounteredin the PCRV head region. The findings will be integrated into the otherprogram task areas for analysis methods development and structural modeltesting.
