Abstract

The head of a cylindrical reactor vessel must be designed for earthquake-induced sloshing force if there is insufficient freeboard. Herein, a design-oriented calculation method is developed for base-and head-supported annular tanks, where the annulus separates the reactor vessel and its core barrel. Charts are provided to enable preliminary design calculations. Examples are presented to describe the calculations.
