Abstract

In order to assure the safety of NPP structures, margin of safety or conservatism is incorporated in each design step. Seismic risk evaluation of NPP structures is performed based on the realistic capacity and response of structure eliminated the safety margin and conservatism. In this study, the comparative study on the various evaluation methods of the inelastic energy absorption capacity was performed. The inelastic energy absorption capacity due to the nonlinear behavior of structures has significant effect on the results of seismic probabilistic risk assessment. And the comparison study of the HCLPF(high confidence of low probability of failure) values according to the inelastic energy absorption factors was performed. As a conclusion, the inelastic energy absorption factor of NPP containment structure is estimated about 1.5~1.75. It is essential to estimate the nonlinear behavior of structure and its ductility factor correctly for the seismic risk assessment.

원전 격납건물은 내진 안정성을 확보하기 위해 설계단계에서 여유나 보수성을 부여하게 된다. 원전 구조물의 내진성능 평가는 이러한 여유나 보수성을 배제한 실질적인 성능 및 응답을 기준으로 평가하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 내진성능 평가에 고려되는 구조물의 성능 및 응답관련 계수들 중 그 기여도가 비교적 큰 비탄성 에너지 흡수계수의 산정방법에 대한 비교를 수행하였다. 또한 각종 방법에 따라 산정된 비탄성 에너지 흡수계수에 따른 HCLPF(high confidence of low probability of failure)값의 변화를 분석하였다. 연구결과 원전 격납건물의 비탄성 에너지 흡수계수는 1.5~1.75로 나타났다. 구조물의 내진성능을 명확히 평가하기 위해서는 먼저 구조물의 비선형 거동 및 연성도를 정확히 평가하여야 함을 알 수 있다.
