Description
The CANDU 3 is the latest generation and the smallest version (450 MWe) of the CANDU line. Modular construction techniques are utilized. The objective of this study is, considering a typical CANDU 3 steel module (RM40), to develop a process to optimize the design and reduce the seismic response of the module to an acceptable level. The process developed was then repeated for the design of Modules RM10 and RM21, to obtain acceptable seismic designs. 5 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs
