REACTOR MODULE SUPPORT STRUCTURE

摘要

A support structure for attenuating seismic forces in one or more reactor modules housed in a reactor building includes a mounting structure that may be configured to securely connect the support structure to a floor of the reactor building. A receiving area may be sized to receive a lower portion of a reactor module, and the support structure may be configured to at least partially surround the lower portion of the reactor module within the receiving area. The support structure may further include a retention system located near a top surface of the support structure. The retention system may be configured to contact the reactor module during a seismic event, and an upper portion of the reactor module may extend above the retention system without contacting the support structure.

1. A system for attenuating seismic forces in a reactor module, the system comprising:
a reactor building comprising a reactor building floor and a plurality of reactor building walls; and a support structure securely connected to the reactor building floor and seismically isolated from the reactor building walls, wherein the support structure comprises:
a receiving area sized to receive a lower portion of the reactor module, wherein the support structure is configured to at least partially surround the lower portion of the reactor module within the receiving area, anda retention system located near a top surface of the support structure, wherein the retention system is configured to contact the lower portion of the reactor module during a seismic event.
