Title

Stress Analysis

Prerequisites

fundamentals of nuclear technology and the structural mechanics

Goal of the course

safety assessment of nuclear components

Content

European legal requirements for components in light water reactors

• BMI, RSK, KTA, and new BMU safety guidelines
• determining the performance levels
• basic safety and integrity concept

Requirements for materials, design and production

• design concepts
• welding technology
