Appropriate damping on seismic design analysis for inelastic response assessment of piping

Watakabe, Tomoyoshi; Morishita, Masaki

Proceedings of 2018 ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference (PVP 2018), 6 Pages, 2018/07

A new Code Case for seismic design of piping is now under development in the framework of JSME Nuclear Codes and Standards as an alternative rule to the current design rule. Simplified analysis with an additional damping taking the response reduction due to plasticity into account is now under consideration to incorporate the convenience in design. In this study, a series of analysis was made to see the adequacy of the simplified inelastic analysis. Design margins contained in the current design analysis method composed of response spectrum analysis and stress factors was quantitatively assessed in the view point of additional damping.

Watakabe, Tomoyoshi; Tsukimori, Kazuyuki; Kitamura, Seiji; Morishita, Masaki

Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology, 138(2), p.021801_1 - 021801_10, 2016/04

With a purpose of identifying the failure mode and the associating ultimate strength of piping components against seismic integrity, many kinds of failure tests have been conducted for thick wall piping for Light Water Reactors (LWRs). However, there are little failure test data on thin wall piping for Sodium Cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs). In this paper, a series of failure tests on thin wall elbows for SFRs is presented. Based on the tests, the failure mode of a thin wall piping component under seismic loads was identified to be fatigue. The safety margin included in the current design methodology was clarified quantitatively.

Application of the system based code concept to the determination of in-service inspection requirements

Takaya, Shigeru; Asayama, Tai; Kamishima, Yoshio*; Machida, Hideo*; Watanabe, Daigo*; Nakai, Satoru; Morishita, Masaki

Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science, 1(1), p.011004_1 - 011004_9, 2015/01

A new process for determination of inservice inspection (ISI) requirements was proposed based on the System Based Code concept to realize effective and rational ISI by properly taking into account plant specific features. The proposed process consists of two complementary evaluations, one focusing on structural integrity and the other one on detectability of defects before they would grow to an unacceptable size in light of plant safety. If defect detection was not feasible, structural integrity evaluation would be required under sufficiently conservative hypothesis. The applicability of the proposed process was illustrated through an application to the existing prototype fast breeder reactor, Monju.

Asayama, Tai; Wakai, Takashi; Ando, Masanori; Okajima, Satoshi; Nagae, Yuji; Takaya, Shigeru; Onizawa, Takashi; Tsukimori, Kazuyuki; Morishita, Masaki

Proceedings of 2014 ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference (PVP 2014) (DVD-ROM), 6 Pages, 2014/07

This paper overviews the ongoing research and development as well as activities for codification of structural codes for the Japan Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR). Not only the design and construction code which has been published and updated on a regular basis, codes on welding, fitness-for-service, leak-before-break evaluation as well as the guidelines for structural reliability evaluation are being developed. The basic strategy for the development is to fully take advantage of the favorable technical characteristics associated with sodium-cooled fast reactors; the codes will be developed based on the System Based Code concept. The above mentioned set of codes are planned to be published from the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2016.

Elaboration of the system based code concept; Activities in JSME and ASME, 4; Joint efforts of JSME and ASME

Asayama, Tai; Takaya, Shigeru; Morishita, Masaki; Schaaf, F.*

Proceedings of 22nd International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE-22) (DVD-ROM), 9 Pages, 2014/07

This paper describes the ongoing activities at the Joint Task Group for System Based Code established in 2012 by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Committee. The Joint Task Group aims at developing alternative rules for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI Division 3, inservice inspection requirements for liquid metal reactors. The alternative rules will be developed based on the System Based Code concept which was originally proposed in Japan and is being elaborated both in JSME and ASME.

Study on ultimate strength of thin-wall piping components for fast breeder reactors under seismic loading

Watakabe, Tomoyoshi; Kitamura, Seiji; Tsukimori, Kazuyuki; Morishita, Masaki

Transactions of 22nd International Conference on Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology (SMiRT-22) (CD-ROM), 10 Pages, 2013/08

It is important to confirm failure modes and safety margin until ultimate strength of piping components from the point of view of seismic safety. Though, many dynamic failure tests of the thick-wall piping components for Light Water Reactors (LWRs) have been performed, there are little dynamic failure test data of the thin-wall pipe for Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs). This paper presents a series of dynamic failure tests of thin-wall elbows with the diameter/thickness ratio close to that of the main piping of FBRs and discusses about vibration characteristics in elastic-plastic region, failure modes under dynamic load and the results of piping design evaluation for the test model. Moreover, the test results were compared to the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) results.

The R&D of a 1 MeV accelerator and a large negative ion source have been carried out at JAERI. The paper presents following progress as a step toward ITER NB system. (1) Accelerator R&D: According to success in improvement of voltage holding capability, the acceleration test of H$$^{-}$$ ions up to 1 MeV class energy is in progress. H$$^{-}$$ ion beams of 1 MeV, 100 mA class have been generated with a substantial beam current density (100 A/m$$^{2}$$), and the current density is still increasing by the ion source tuning. (2) Large ion source R&D: One of major causes that limited the NB injection performance was spatial unifomity of negative ion production in existing negative-ion based NB systems. The present study revealed that the negative ions produced in the extraction region of the source were locally destructed by fast electrons leaking through magnetic filter. Some countermeasures and their test results are also described.

The R&D of a 1 MeV accelerator and a large negative ion source has been carried out at JAERI for the ITER NB system. The R&D is in progress at present toward: (1) 1 MeV acceleration of H$$^{-}$$ ion beams at the ITER relevant current density of 200 A/m$$^{2}$$, and (2) improvement of uniform negative ion production over wide extraction area in large negative ion sources. Recently, H$$^{-}$$ ion beams of 1 MeV, 140 mA level have been generated with a substantial beam current density (100 A/m$$^{2}$$). In the uniformity study, it has been clarified that electron temperature in the ion extraction region is locally high ($$>$$ 1 eV), which resulted in destruction of negative ions at a high reaction rate. Interception of fast electrons leaking through a transverse magnetic field called "magnetic filter" has been found effective to lower the local electron temperature, followed by an improvement of negative ion beam profile.

Development of vertical component isolation system with coned disk springs for FBR plant

Kitamura, Seiji; Okamura, Shigeki; Takahashi, Kenji; Kamishima, Yoshio*; Somaki, Takahiro*; Morishita, Masaki

Proceedings of 9th World Seminar on Seismic Isolation, Energy Dissipation and Active Vibration Control of Structures (CD-ROM), p.209 - 216, 2005/00

A structural concept of a vertical component isolation system for fast reactors, assuming a building adopting a horizontal base isolation system, has been studied. In this concept, a reactor vessel and major primary components are suspended from a large common deck supported by vertical isolation devices consisting of large coned disk springs. We designed the isolation device, which could be achieved vertical isolation frequency of 1 Hz and damping ratio of 20 %. Full scale coned disk spring and damper performance tests were carried out to verify the validity of design equations. And a series of shaking table test using a 1/8 scale model was performed. The test results fit well the simulation analysis results, so the validity of the design methods was able to be verified. The prospect that the vertical component isolation system applied to the FBR plant could technically realize was obtained.
