ANSYS analyses on the Shippingport Station Decommissioning Project

Description

The nuclear reactor vessel from the Shippingport Station, located in Shippingport, Pennsylvania, will be removed as part of the overall Decommissioning Project. The reactor vessel along with a specially designed lifting beam and skirt were modelled to examine the stresses and behavior of the combined structure. Both the PC/Linear Version of ANSYS and the Cray Version were used in the two phases of the analysis. This paper describes the modelling and analytical techniques used to evaluate the design of this one-of-a-kind structure. The combination of the two versions of ANSYS provided the design team with excellent results in a timely and cost effective manner
