This study is on a seismic analysis of ab50rber rod in KMRR Reactivity Control Mechanism. The
model being studied is two coaxial tubes(control absorber rod and flow tube) immersed in the water
and partially coupled(overlap) by water gap. The hydrodynamic mass effects by the water in 않ch
surrounding conditions are considered in the model. The natural frequencies, stresses and displacements
of the system due to Safe Shutdown Earthquake are computed in the cases of in-phase
m여es and out-of-phase modes of two coaxial tubes. The results show that maximum stresses are
well below the allowable limit but the maximum displacements at the ends of both tu∞s are 50
much that the ab50rber rcxi contacts with the flow tube(or surrounding wall).
