IWGGCR--6: Gas-cooled reactor seismic design problems and solutions

IAEA IWGGCR specialists' meeting on gas-cooled reactor seismic design problems and solutions. San Diego, CA (USA). 30 Aug - 1 Sep 1982

International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna (Austria)., IWGGCR--6

Abstract

The Specialists' Meeting on "Gas-Cooled Reactor Seismic Design Problems and Solutions" was held at General Atomic Company in San Diego, California, USA, 30 August-1 September, 198.2. The meeting was sponsored by the IAEA on the recommendation of the International Working Group on Gas-Cooled Reactors and hosted by General Atomic Company. It was attended by 24 participants from the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America. The objective of the meeting was to provide a forum for the exchange and discussion of technical Information on the seismic behavior of gas-cooled reactors, including descriptions of seismic analysis and testing.
 
The meeting was opened by Mr. J. Larrimore on behalf of General Atomic Company and by Mr. J. Kupitz on behalf of the IAEA. The technical part of the meeting was subdivided into three sessions. A total of eleven papers was presented by the participants on behalf of their organizations during the meeting, and an opportunity for open discussion of the papers followed each presentation. The programme of the meeting and the list of participants are given in Chapters 4 and 5 of this report.
