ABSTRACT:
A vertical seismic isolation structure is capable of achieving vertical seismic isolation of nuclear reactor components connected to each other by primary pipings, while suppressing the relative displacement with respect to the primary pipings. A nuclear reactor vessel, circulating pumps and heat exchangers, all of which are connected to each other by primary pipings in which a coolant is circulated, are mounted on a common deck. Vertical seismic isolators each of which has laminated large coned disc springs and is capable of expanding and contracting in only the vertical direction are installed on the top of a concrete wall surrounding the respective nuclear reactor components. The common deck is placed on all the vertical seismic isolators so as to support the entire seismic isolation structure (the common deck, the nuclear reactor components, etc.).
