ICONE23-1285 The Application and Calculation Analysis of Reinforced Concrete with High Reinforcement Ratio in Reactor Pressure Vessel and Containment

Abstract

Reactor pressure vessel, usually made of steel, is the heart of a nuclear power plant. The containment is one of the significant components of the NI (Nuclear Island) in nuclear power plants. There are two mainly types of containment: prestressed concrete containment and steel containment. Concrete containment and vessel with high reinforcement ratio are introduced in this article (See Figure 1). The main contents include theoretical analysis and FEM calculation.
