This publication presents the current status of practice and use of seismic isolation systems for nuclear installations. Since it relates to a number of IAEA Safety Standards, it complements these on the technical aspects related to usage of seismically isolation for structures, systems and components in nuclear installations.
Since the environment and functions of nuclear power plants are more complex than normal architecture and nuclear power plants require much higher safety and reliability than other projects, seismic isolation of nuclear power plants needs particular designs.
Base isolation technology can make the seismic design of nuclear power plants not stick to the level of design ground motion and implement standardized operation, so as to improve the overall reliability and safety of nuclear power plant.
There are many benefits of seismic isolation in design and construction of new facilities and in the retrofitting of existing nuclear installations. Observations of well-designed, installed and maintained isolated structures show a no damage behaviour that corresponds to expectations.
Many countries including Japan, the United States and France have made relevant specifications for seismic isolation design of nuclear power plants, among which the specifications of Japan and the United States have developed for a long time and are mature.
The United States issued “Seismic Design Criteria for Structures, Systems and Components in Nuclear Facilities” (ASCE 43-05) in 2005, which provides a set of design standards more stringent than ordinary buildings to ensure that nuclear facilities can maintain the expected performance under earthquake.
