10.3.2.3 Load Carrying Requirements of the EPR Containment in Case
of Large Scale Hydrogen Detonations
Similar analyses as for the KWU-1,300 PWR containment were also performed for
the EPR containment. Figure

displays the respective pressure-time curve [

covering all results of the hydrogen detonation analyses for EPR. On the basis of
this pressure-time curve similar structure dynamics response calculations can be
done for the prestressed concrete containment of EPR.
