Abstract

Seismic load is most important for the structural design of Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors (LMFBRs) because of the relatively low operational pressure of the coolant. This indicates that the reduction of earthquake excitation will result in a reduction of the structural mass and an increase of the structural reliability.
