Abstract

Seismic qualification of the main control board(MCB) for the nuclear power plant Ulchin 5 and 6 has been performed with the guideline of ASME Section III and IEEE 344 code. As the size and weight of the MCB are too large and heavy to excite using the excitation table, finite element analysis is used in order to investigate the dynamic behaviors and structural integrity of the MCB. As the fundamental frequencies of the equipment are found to be less than 33 Hz, which is the upper frequency limit for the dynamic analysis, response spectrum analysis using ANSYS is performed in order to combine the modal stresses within the frequency limit. In order to confirm the electrical stability of the major components of the MCB. modal analysis theory has been adopted to derive the required response spectra at the component locations. As the all combined stresses obtained from the above procedures are less than the allowable stresses and no mechanical or electrical failures are found from the seismic testing, the authors can confirm the safety of the nuclear equipment MCB under the given seismic loading conditions.
