Description

Based on realistic design data different anchor concepts were analysed for the transitional areas between the penetration liner and the vessel closure. Making use of the basis safety criteria an integrity concept has been developed in connection with the double closure design, which meets the specific HTR-500 conditions. The effect of the failure on the load-carrying behaviour of the PCRV and on the leak tightness of the liner was evaluated. Strength analyses were carried out and the fracture mechanics of the failure mechanism was evaluated. (DG)
