Probabilistic methods for the definition of hydrodynamic loads in the design of containment systems
Description
The Monte Carlo method is applied in two different ways to calculate the loads that due to the actuation of the safety and relief valves of a BWR reactor are generated on the boundaries of the pressure supression pool of a Mark II containment. The loads calculated by this method are compared with the loads calculated in a deterministic way, a criterion so far accepted for this type of containment. The comparison is made based on the response spectra of the integrated vertical forces. (author)
