Original Abstract

The article is a contribution to the discussion concerning nuclear safety which has intensified after the Fukushima Daiichii nuclear disaster. The presented parametric study presented here is focused on the containment damage evaluation for various materials, containment wall thicknesses and different aircraft speeds before impact. A detailed analysis of plane impact is also included. The solution was obtained by the explicit finite element method utilizing the RFEM program. The purpose of this study was also to foster experiential suggestions for improving the explicit method in the RFEM program in order to relase it for RFEM users.
