ABSTRACT:
A nuclear power generation complex constructed on a stratum of rock overlain by soil deposits. All major structures in the power generation complex (i.e., reactor, turbine, radwaste and control buildings) are located on a common mat foundation that houses elastomeric bearings or seismic isolators. The foundation includes a concrete slab supported by a plurality of pedestals. Each of the pedestals is embedded in the rock. Preferably, each pedestal is a circular metal shell filled with underwater-type concrete, and the concrete slab is reinforced with steel bars. For example, a reactor building is supported by one set of seismic isolators mounted on the concrete slab, and a turbine building is supported by another set of seismic isolators mounted on the concrete slab. The isolators filter out a great deal of the seismic vibratory inputs. The common mat foundation eliminates differential movements between the buildings.
