English Summary<br />
This report is the final delivery to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority<br />
(SSM) for the work undertaken within the Commission, "Evaluation of rules<br />
and standards for concrete structures in Swedish nuclear power plants".<br />
In the SSM's regulations and recommendations, there are at present no specific<br />
requirements and adequate guidance on how concrete structures should<br />
be designed in case of new buildings or verification analyses of existing<br />
buildings.<br />
The result of the work presented in this report constitute the basis for SSM's<br />
ongoing regulatory project “Investigation regarding requirements for construction,<br />
design, analysis and review of reactor containments and other safety-related<br />
building structures”.<br />
The project includes the following:<br />
1. Summary of the regulations and requirements that h<strong>av</strong>e been applied<br />
at the initial design and new construction of concrete structures at the<br />
Swedish nuclear power plants (chapter 3).<br />
2. Comparison and evaluation of relevant regulations published by the<br />
European and North American authorities (chapter 4 and 5).<br />
3. Comparison and evaluation of relevant codes, standards, guidelines<br />
etc. for load-bearing concrete structures in different countries (chapter<br />
4 and 6).<br />
4. Conclusions and recommendations to the regulatory framework for<br />
the design of load-bearing concrete structures at the Swedish nuclear<br />
power plants (chapter 7).<br />
Based on a comparison and evaluation of regulations from the U.S., Canada,<br />
France, the UK, Finland and Sweden, as well as guidelines established by<br />
the international organizations IAEA and EUR, the following general recommendations<br />
are provided as a regulatory framework for the design of<br />
load-bearing concrete structures at the Swedish nuclear power plants:<br />
‣ The Eurocodes will replace the BKR design rules of Boverket as the<br />
conventional building regulations on the construction of nuclear power<br />
plants.<br />
‣ A general review and updating of the existing industry standard Design<br />
rules for buildings at nuclear facilities DRB:2001 is implemented.<br />
Reference is made to the Eurocodes with regard to conditions of conventional<br />
design rules.<br />
Detailed conclusions and recommendations are given in Chapter 7.<br />
