Abstract

Founded in 1980, AFCEN proposes design and construction codes for nuclear projects. RCC-CW, AFCEN code for civil works has been used for many nuclear projects in different countries. The knowledge and operational experience gained during these constructions were captured in different editions of codes, including also, since 2015, lessons learnt from 2011 Fukushima Daichi accident. Thus, RCC-CW has evolved each year to include new methods, recent technologies, and industrial practices, to take into account operational experiences and to be adapted to Nuclear Projects’ needs. The paper provides an overall presentation of the RCC-CW code. It shows some highlights on the recent developments on anchors, deep foundations, and ageing management, and on the upcoming evolutions.

AFCEN RCC-CW：经过验证的核项目民用结构安全分类规范

AFCEN成立于1980年，负责为核电项目制定设计和施工规范。RCC-CW， AFCEN土建工程规范已在不同国家的许多核项目中使用。在这些建设过程中获得的知识和操作经验被记录在不同版本的规范中，包括自2015年以来从2011年福岛第一核电站事故中吸取的教训。因此，RCC-CW每年都在不断发展，包括新的方法、最新的技术和工业实践，以考虑到运营经验并适应核项目的需求。本文对RCC-CW规范进行了全面介绍。它重点介绍了锚、深地基和老化管理方面的最新发展，以及即将到来的演变。

期刊介绍： Nuclear Engineering and Design covers the wide range of disciplines involved in the engineering, design, safety and construction of nuclear fission reactors. The Editors welcome papers both on applied and innovative aspects and developments in nuclear science and technology. Fundamentals of Reactor Design include: • Thermal-Hydraulics and Core Physics • Safety Analysis, Risk Assessment (PSA) • Structural and Mechanical Engineering • Materials Science • Fuel Behavior and Design • Structural Plant Design • Engineering of Reactor Components • Experiments Aspects beyond fundamentals of Reactor Design covered: • Accident Mitigation Measures • Reactor Control Systems • Licensing Issues • Safeguard Engineering • Economy of Plants • Reprocessing / Waste Disposal • Applications of Nuclear Energy • Maintenance • Decommissioning Papers on new reactor ideas and developments (Generation IV reactors) such as inherently safe modular HTRs, High Performance LWRs/HWRs and LMFBs/GFR will be considered; Actinide Burners, Accelerator Driven Systems, Energy Amplifiers and other special designs of power and research reactors and their applications are also encouraged.
