Description

Smooth operation of active components like primary heat transport (PHT) pumps, moderator pumps, emergency core cooling pumps etc. is always required to ensure the safety of a nuclear power plant in case of normal as well as abnormal conditions. The moderator system pump-motor units for RAPP-3, 4 and Kaiga-1, 2 have been analysed theoretically to demonstrate the structural integrity of various components of the unit for various loadings as well as the functional requirement during an earthquake loading. The paper gives in detail the methodology adopted for both the analyses and their results. (author). 5 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab
