Design study of off-shore LMFBR plant
Abstract
Nuclear power plants have been constructed on firm rocks in Japan because of its stability and reliability during earthquakes. However, in the light of the future shortage of prospective rock sites, other siting techniques such as soft rock siting, seismic isolation and off-shore siting have been a matter of concern recently. This study presents a feasibility study on a off-shore LMFBR plant with a special interest on the seismic behavior. Among many different off-shore siting techniques, that of a full-floating platform in a semi-closed basin was selected in the study from the cost and safety point of view.
