Abstract:
To obtain the real contact condition between core barrel flange and hold down spring, and to obtain accurate results of analysis of Core Barrel Flange in the Case of LOCA, this paper introduced the main loads applied on CERP core barrel flange, especially, the load applied by hold down spring in the case of two-phase LOCA under the mode of "two point contact". This paper presented an analysis of core barrel flange in LOCA condition based on SYSTUS, obtained the stresses of core barrel flange in LOCA condition by comparing displacements and estimated the behavior of core barrel flange according the rules of RCC-M.
