Estimation of Structural Reliability Under Combined Loads. [PWR; BWR]

Description: For the overall safety evaluation of seismic category I structures subjected to various load combinations, a quantitative measure of the structural reliability in terms of a limit state probability can be conveniently used. For this purpose, the reliability analysis method for dynamic loads, which has recently been developed by the authors, was combined with the existing standard reliability analysis procedure for static and quasi-static loads. The significant parameters that enter into the ana… more

Development of a Reliability-Analysis Method for Category I Structures. [PWR; BWR]

Description: The present paper develops a reliability analysis method for category I nuclear structures, particularly for reinforced concrete containment structures subjected to various load combinations. The loads considered here include dead loads, accidental internal pressure and earthquake ground acceleration. For mathematical tractability, an earthquake occurrence is assumed to be governed by the Poisson arrival law, while its acceleration history is idealized as a Gaussian vector process of finite dur… more

Search for Inclusive Oscillations of Muon Neutrinos in the Mass Range, 20 <. Delta. M/sup 2/ < 900 Ev/sup 2/

Description: A sensitive search for inclusive neutrino oscillations has been performed using two similar detectors running simultaneously at different locations in the Fermilab dichromatic muon-neutrino beam. The preliminary results show no significant oscillation signal and rule out inclusive oscillations of muon neutrinos into any other type of neutrons for 20 < ..delta..m/sup 2/ < 900 eV/sup 2/ and sin/sup 2/(2 theta) > 0.03 to 0.10.

Measurement of the scaling x and y distributions of neutral and charged current nu/sub. mu. / interactions

Description: We report on a joint study of the neutral and charged current reactions nu/sub ..mu../ + Ne ..-->.. h + nu/sub ..mu../ and nu/sub ..mu../ + Ne h + ..mu../sup -/. With the aim to obtain distributions in the scaling variables x and y. The experiment was performed at the FNAL narrow band neutrino beam (neutrino energies up to 240 GeV; mean energy: 60 GeV) and used the 15-foot bubble chamber filled with a heavy neon-hydrogen mix (59 atomic percent of neon) to detect neutrino interactions. The narro… more

FEM-Based Random-Vibration Analysis of Nuclear Structures Under Seismic Loading. [PWR; BWR]

Description: This paper outlines an analytical and numerical procedure developed for the frequency domain finite element analysis of category I nuclear structures, in particular, of reinforced concrete containment shell structures, subjected to earthquake ground acceleration. Such a procedure can be conveniently used in the analytical evaluation of the overall seismic safety of nuclear power plant structures. Emphasized in this presentation, however, is the analytical procedure associated with the random vi… more
