... Abstract As a lesson learned from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the industry recognized the importance of mitigating accident consequences after Beyond Design Basis Events (BDBE). We propose the concept of applying fracture control to mitigate failure consequences of nuclear...

... Abstract To mitigate the severe effects in the beyond design basis accident (BDBA), the concept of fracture control was proposed in the previous study. The idea of the fracture control is to manage the accident consequence by controlling to cause minor failure prior to the fatal failure...
