Book Synopsis Seismic Design for Nuclear Power Plants by : Robert J. Hansen
Download or read book Seismic Design for Nuclear Power Plants written by Robert J. Hansen and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1970 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of protective measures to guard against the spread of radioactive debris following reactor disasters has been given extensive and careful engineering attention over the past several years. Much of this attention has been devoted to eliminating or minimizing the effects of malfunctions of internal components. But reactors can also suffer externally caused disasters—for example, their radioactive cores can be damaged by earthquakes or by missiles generated by tornadoes. Earthquakes in particular will continue to render man vulnerable even to the "peaceful atom" as the number of nuclear power plants increases and as they come to be located in those parts of the world that have a history of seismic activity. It was to consider such problems that the seminar reported here was held. The conferees, who are leaders in this special and important field, gathered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in spring 1969, to present the papers whose titles are listed below. Together they cover both the theoretical underpinnings of the subject and specific applications to nuclear reactors; they provide both useful summaries of what is known to date and some new thinking on the subject, not before published.

Download or read book Probability Problems in Seismic Risk Analysis and Load Combinations for Nuclear Power Plants written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes seismic risk, load combination, and probabilistic risk problems in power plant reliability, and it suggests applications of extreme value theory. Seismic risk analysis computes the probability of power plant failure in an earthquake and the resulting risk. Components fail if their peak responses to an earthquake exceed their strengths. Dependent stochastic processes represent responses, and peak responses are maxima. A Boolean function of component failures and survivals represents plant failure. Load combinations analysis computes the cdf of the peak of the superposition of stochastic processes that represent earthquake and operating loads. It also computes the probability of pipe fracture due to crack growth, a Markov process, caused by loads. Pipe fracture is an absorbing state. Probabilistic risk analysis computes the cdf's of probabilities which represent uncertainty. These Cdf's are induced by randomizing parameters of cdf's and by randomizing properties of stochastic processes such as initial crack size distributions, marginal cdf's, and failure criteria.
Book Synopsis Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Nuclear Risks by : Katsuhiro Kamae
Download or read book Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Nuclear Risks written by Katsuhiro Kamae and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers seismic probabilistic risk assessment (S-PRA) and related studies which have become more important to increase the safety of nuclear facilities against earthquakes and tsunamis in the face of the many uncertainties after the Fukushima accident. The topics are (1) Active faults and active tectonics important for seismic hazard assessment of nuclear facilities,(2) Seismic source modeling and simulation and modeling techniques indispensable for strong ground motion prediction, and (3) PRA with external hazard and risk communication. The Fukushima accident has showed us the limitations of the deterministic evaluation approach to external events (an earthquake and tsunami) in which there are many uncertainties. Furthermore, public anxiety regarding nuclear safety because of an unexpected threat caused by an earthquake or tsunami is growing. The current policy on the estimation of the design basis of ground motion as well as tsunami height still has not been improved following the Fukushima accident. In particular, the risk concept in a nuclear system regarding seismic motion and a tsunami beyond the design basis is indispensable. Therefore, research and development for PRA enhancing nuclear safety are being actively pursued not only in Japan but also worldwide. This book provides an opportunity for readers to consider the future direction of nuclear safety vis-à-vis natural disasters.

This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience shows that an assessment of the seismic capacity of an existing operating facility can be required for a number of reasons, for example identification of potential seismic vulnerabilities based on operating experience events or the periodic safety review programme. This publication covers the seismic safety evaluation programmes to be performed on existing nuclear installations in order to ensure that the required fundamental safety functions are available, with particular attention to the safe shutdown of reactors. It includes lessons learned based on the IAEA Action Plan on Nuclear Safety following the Fukushima Daiichi accident, and updated methodologies for seismic safety evaluation of nuclear installations.

Book Synopsis Probability Problems in Seismic Risk Analysis and Load Combinations for Nuclear Power Plants by :
Download or read book Probability Problems in Seismic Risk Analysis and Load Combinations for Nuclear Power Plants written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workshop describes some probability problems in power plant reliability and maintenance analysis. The problems are seismic risk analysis, loss of load probability, load combinations, and load sharing. The seismic risk problem is to compute power plant reliability given an earthquake and the resulting risk. Component survival occurs if its peak random response to the earthquake does not exceed its strength. Power plant survival is a complicated Boolean function of component failures and survivals. The responses and strengths of components are dependent random processes, and the peak responses are maxima of random processes. The resulting risk is the expected cost of power plant failure.
