... was at the vane pass frequency of the pump and was propagated through the piping system as an internal acoustic field. While not the typical acoustic induced vibration of a blowdown system, the impact and mechanisms are the same. Mitigations addressed the problem with seven approaches: (1) modify the design...

... 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...
