Abstract

A seismic analysis was carried out to examine the integrity of the secondary coolant circuit within the reactor containment building for the HIFAR reactor located at Lucas Heights. Eigen evaluations of the structure for the first 40 modes were determined for a number of piping configurations. A response spectrum for a 0.2 g earthquake was then used to excite the structure and the resulting stresses were examined for areas of potential failure.
