Conference Article: Analysis of the core seismic experiments using the SAFA program for intercomparison of LMFBR seismic analysis codes
Horiuchi, T. (Hitachi Ltd, Tsuchiura, Ibaraki (Japan). Mechanical Engineering Research Lab.)Abstract
As a project of the IAEA/IWGFR, a coordinated research program on intercomputison of LMFBR seismic analysis codes has been undertaken since 1991. In this research program, the participants conducted calculations on PEC, MONJU and HAPSODIE problems using their own computer programs. As a final report for the coordinated research program, the results calculated using the SAFA program developed by Hitachi, Ltd. are reviewed. Since the calculation results were found to correlate well with the ones measured during comparisons, the validity of SAFA for the seismic-response analysis of an FBR core was demonstrated. Intercomparison of computer codes and some recommendations for future research are also made.
