Analysis of Nuclear Containment Structures; Introduction
This is the first of four chapters dedicated to the analysis of nuclear structures, or Containment Enclosure Building (CEB) more precisely. It constitutes an attempt to contextualize the complex, and seldom fully addressed, problematic of the safety of nuclear reactor enclosure buildings.
This chapter will begin with some general remarks associated with seismic analysis of nuclear structures. Then, a broad review of the literature related (primarily but not exclusively) to the probabilistic risk assessment of nuclear structures is presented. Finally, the third section will revisit the summary report of (what the authors consider) a landmark report by Sandia. This report (Hessheimer and Dameron, NUREG/CR-6906 SAND2006-2274P: containment integrity research at Sandia National Laboratories; an overview, 2006) contains many recommendation for the nonlinear finite element analysis (many of which have not “‘aged”) that could be invaluable for the modern analyst.
