Abstract
Dropped Loads in Nuclear Facilities
Dropped loads can undermine the structural integrity of safety critical components. Relatively high impact velocities can result in significant local damage to the target, such as yielding of materials (bending), buckling or local failure or penetration. In nuclear facilities, a response of this sort may directly or indirectly lead to a transient or sustained radiological release.
