Abstract
The Structural Integrity DEmonstration Strategy (SIDES) has to satisfy two basic needs, namely to assure that the necessary safety precautions are fulfilled and to prove a well based safety and reliability argument for passive structures within the frame of the safety assessment process. The elements of this approach are related to five principles. The intention is to systematically compile all these elements for LMFBRs in order to assess the completeness, consistency and adequacy of the measures provided and to assure that their contribution to the plant's safety and reliability is adequate. The application of SIDES orientates itself on the three safety design levels, which could possibly result in a reclassification of events initiated by failures in passive structures such as leaks and breaks determined by the “Lines of Defense” method.
