[3K06] Technical Demonstration for NuScale “VOYGRTM”
(4) Preliminary Physical Damage Evaluation of Reactor Building for Aircraft Impact Assessment
Keywords:SMR, NuScale, VOYGR, AIA, Reactor Building
NuScale SMR Nuclear Power Plant (hereinafter called VOYGRTM) in the United States adopts Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures in the design certificate phase. However, currently, new building structures using Steel-concrete Composite (SC) structures have been studied, and the subsequent Aircraft Impact Assessment (AIA) has been conducted in accordance with US regulations. In case of assuming the introduction of VOYGRTM to Japan, the AIA following Japanese regulations is required as well. As a preliminary approach, this paper provides study results for building protections against assumptive aircraft impact loads using the simplified reactor building analysis model.
