The use of computational chemistry to address issues relative to process design was discussed in an article. The need for efficient software for massively parallel architectures was described. Methods to predict the electronic structure of molecules are described for the molecular orbital and density functional theory approaches. Two examples of electronic stracture calculations are given. The first shows that one can now make extremely accurate predictions of the thermochemistry of small molecules if one carefully considers all of the details such as zero-point energies, core-valence corrections, and relativistic corrections. The second example shows how more approximate computational methods, still based on high level electronic structure calculations, can be used to address a complex waste processing problem at a nuclear production facility (Dixon and Feller, 1999). 

Section III contains discussions of major new facilities—some under construction, some in intensive design stages, and some still in the idea stage. These and other major facilities are critical to maintaining the rapid pace of advancement in nuclear structure research and represent, for the most part, a history of multinational participation. The coordination and phased development of new facilities avoid duplication of effort and enhance overall productivity of the worldwide research community. Section III also looks at a selection of new techniques and smaller facilities that provide a sample of imaginative approaches to current and future experiments. Three very different approaches to the study of a particular nucleus, 138Sm, are included to illustrate the complementarity of different facilities and techniques in approaching the study of specific cases. 

New DOE MlirIP3r Rpactor Facilities. For new nuclear reactor facilities, all safety class structures, systems, and components (SSCs) shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 

Nudear facility Nuclear facility means a reactor or a nonreactor nuclear facility where an activity is conducted for or on behalf of DOE and includes any related area, structure, facility, or activity to the extent necessary to ensure proper implementation of the requirements established by this Part. 

The acceptance criterion for the resolution of GSI 103 is that the site chosen for a commercial nuclear generating facility shall be designed to accommodate a maximum expected flood from precipitation without jeopardizing the safe operation of the facility, in accordance with the guidance given in SRP 2.4.2, Rev. 3 and SRP 2.4.3, Rev. 3. Also, the facility design, including structures, systems, and components important to safety, shall meet the criteria specified in 10 CFR 50 Appendix A (GDC 2). 

Structure, systems and components with safety functions shall be so designed that the safety of the nuclear reactor facilities will not be impaired by postulated extenal man-induced events. (Guide 3.1) External postulated man-induced events are said to refer to airplane crashes, collapse of dams, explosions, etc. In Japan, nuclear power plants are not located in the vicinity of dams nor in areas where... 

This chapter has provided an overview of the buildings and civil structures of the APIOOO. In particular, it describes the key nuclear island facilities that support the passive cooling features and also the design requirements imposed on them. Read in conjunction with Chapter 6 of this PC SR, this chapter provides a good overview of the functionality of the APIOOO.

Seismic Design Criteria for Structures, Systems and Components in Nuclear Facilities, ASCE 43-05.2005. Providing criteria for the design of nuclear facilities, this standard will be useful to those designing new nuclear structures. 

Design of petrochemical facilities for accidental explosions is similar in many ways to design of facilities Tor high explosive detonations, nuclear weapons effects and nuclear power accidents for which design guides arc available. However, blast design for petrochemical plants is different in that more structural damage may be tolerated, in accordance with a company s blast protection philosophy.
