Assessment of seismic damages in nuclear power plant buildings
Abstract
Performance of nuclear power plant sites, buildings and components is in today’s practice continuously evaluated by means of monitoring systems composed by a variety of instruments, allowing records of the most significant behavioral parameters to be gathered by electronic data acquisition equipment. Performance monitoring is aimed to update knowledge of the safety conditions of the plant and the level of damage that critical components or structures may have experienced during their operational life or as a result of abnormal loadings.
