Design Codes
• The main design code for concrete containment design in the U.S. is ASME Section III, Division 2, Code for Concrete Containments, 2007 Edition – formerly also known as ACI-359
• Key concepts in this code: – Service loads vs factored loads (severe environmental, extreme environmental, abnormal
loads)
– Primary force and secondary force
– Essentially an allowable stress approach
– Allowable stress: • Detailed elaborate allowables for factored loads
• Simpler straightforward allowables for service loads
• Supporting codes include: – ASCE 4-98 (4-09) and ASCE 43-05 for seismic design
– NEI 07-13, Revision 8 for aircraft impact
– ASME/ANS RA-S-2009 for external events PRA

Load Charaterization
• Design basis events are defined as conditions of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences, design basis accidents, external events, and natural phenomena for which the plant must be designed to ensure the following functions:
– (1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary
– (2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; or
– (3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the applicable guideline exposures set forth in § 50.34(a)(1) or § 100.11 of this chapter, as applicable.
• Beyond design basis accidents refer to accident sequences that are possible but were not fully considered in the design process because they were judged to be too unlikely. (In that sense, they are considered beyond the scope of design basis accidents that a nuclear facility must be designed and built to withstand.) As the regulatory process strives to be as thorough as possible, "beyond design-basis" accident sequences are analyzed to fully understand the capability of a design.

On Evaluation of BDBEs
• Severe accidents should be evaluated to identify reasonable measures for prevention or mitigation, based on realistic or best-estimate assumptions, methods, and analytical criteria regarding specific severe accidents.
• Chapter 19 of Regulatory Guide 1.206, Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants, requires licensees of future nuclear power reactors to perform a probabilistic risk assessment that includes analysis of BDBEs – Also addressed in Section 19 of the Standard Review Plan, NUREG-800,
Probabilistic Risk Assessment and Severe Accident Evaluation for New Reactors
• BDBEs most often evaluated as a PRA – acceptance criteria is “true best estimate failure”

BDBE Example – Containment Overpressure
• Containment Pressure exceeding design as a result of beyond design
basis event – prestressed containment
• Ultimate pressure capacity, for varying thermal conditions, evaluated
in support of Level 2 internal events PRA
• Nonlinear FE analysis – both material and geometric nonlinearity
• Global nonlinear response analysis with ANSYS Wedge Model –
Solid65 elements for concrete with smeared rebar
• Local analysis of Equipment hatch, personnel access airlock, piping
and electrical penetrations, etc. with nonlinear local ANSYS models
• Liner analysis with a hand calculation methods

BDBE Example – Aircraft Impact
• Aircraft impact analysis with LS-DYNA
• Both missile/target interaction method and the Riera force history
method
• Nuclear Island modeled in “full detail”
• Winfrith material model with both discrete beam and smeared rebar
– Typically eight to twelve elements through the thickness in the impacted area
and vicinity
– Areas removed from the impact area modeled with linear shell elements
