Extreme load analyses of the 100-K fuel storage basins and clearwells

The 105-KE storage basin is being renovated under Project H-501 in order to provide supplemental storage for irradiated fuel from N Reactor. The 100-K plant was designed and constructed under structural design criteria somewhat different than those applicable to Project H-501. The purpose of this report is to document the results of a structural design review based upon current (H-501) criteria. Included are the results of seismic analyses of the 105-KE fuel storage basin and the 105-KE clearwells, as well as analyses involving extreme loads caused by events such as a tornado or the accidental dropping of a fuel cask into the storage basin. Except for minor details, the results would also be applicable to corresponding facilities at the KW facility
