Seismic Response of High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Core with Block-TyPe Fuel, (IV)

seismic Response of Actual core Predicted frem Experimental and Analytical Results of Two-Dimensional Core Models

Abstract

This paper describes core seismic response characteristic of high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) using results of seismic experiment of two-dimensional core models. The followings are described: (1) Introduction of similarity laws and prediction method of actual HTGR core seismic response using scale model experiments, (2) Prediction of actual HTGR core seismic response using two-dimensional vertical and horizontal slice core models and (3) Consideration of aseismic structure.
