- Description
- The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has promulgated an alternate licensing framework for early site permits (ESPs), certified reactor designs, and combined construction permits and operating licenses (COLs) as described in 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 52. New applicants have been using the Part 52 framework in submittals since 2003. The reactor site criteria are addressed in 10 CFR Part 100. Guidance for the public on approaches that meet NRC requirements is outlined in NRC regulatory guides. Factors to be considered when selecting the site include physical characteristics of the site including seismology, meteorology, geology, and hydrology. The NRC staff review guidance and acceptance criteria are provided in a document, “Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG 0800, Revised March 2007.” Section 2.4 of the staff guidance in NUREG 0800 relates to hydrology and flooding design basis for a nuclear power plant. The objective of this paper is to describe several initiatives undertaken in the U.S. to capture the lessons learned from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami; to describe revision of the staff guidance documented in NUREG 0800 Section 2.4.6, “Probable Maximum Tsunami Hazards” and some essential elements from Section 2.4.5, “Probable Maximum Surge and Seiche Flooding;” and to describe efforts related to the revision of the regulatory guide 1.59, “Design Basis Floods for Nuclear Power Plants.” This document also describes the efforts to use the lessons and insights learned from the current site reviews.

- Numerical Analysis on Ultimate Pullout Bearing Capacity of Drag Embedment Anchor Based on Elastic-plastic FEM

- Keywords: drag embedment anchor ; ultimate pullout load ; monotonic loading ; embedment depth
- Description
- According to the urgently application of catenary mooring system in the project of South China Sea, drag embedment anchor which could resist large horizontal loads is the most reasonable type of anchor foundation. Therefore the ultimate pullout bearing capacity analysis is one of the key issues in the design of offshore structures. The undrained seabed soft clay and drag embedment anchor is respectively simulated by ideal elastic-plastic model and rigid model. Considering the contact friction between the drag embedment anchor and seabed clay, the two-dimensional finite element calculation model is established. The influence laws of embedment depth, angle between shank and fluke, mooring force angle to the ultimate static pullout bearing capacity of drag embedment anchor are respectively studied under monotonic loading. The specific numerical results and analysis conclusions would be helpful in
engineering practices.
