Abstract

To evaluate the structural integrity of the main cooling-water pump of a nuclear power plant under different seismic conditions, the seismic analysis was performed in accordance with IEEE-STD-344 code. The finite element computer program, ANSYS, was used to perform both mode frequency analysis and response spectrum analysis for the pump assembly. The natural frequencies, the mode shapes, and the mode participation factors were obtained from the results of the mode frequency analysis. The stresses resulting from various loadings and their combinations were within the allowable limits specified in the above-mentioned IEEE code. The results of the seismic evaluation fully satisfied the structural acceptance criteria of the IEEE code. Thus, it was proved that the structural integrity of the pump assembly was satisfactory.

본 논문은 원자력 내진등급 원전용 주냉각수 펌프의 지진하중에 대한 구조 건전성을 코드에 따라 평가하였다. 펌프 구조물을 3차원 모델링하여 유한요소법을 사용하여 모달 해석 및 응답스펙트럼 해석을 수행하였다. 모달 해석 결과 고유진동수, 모드형상 및 모드참여계수를 얻을 수 있었다. 응력해석에서 구한 응력들을 조합하여 원자력 규격집에서 제시한 허용응력과 비교하여 펌프의 구조 건전성을 판단하였다. 모든 지진하중에 대한 펌프 구조물에서의 응력은 허용값 보다 작게 분포하므로 구조적 건전성을 유지한다고 평가할 수 있다.
