The standard practice is to seismically qualify the safety related equipment and structural components used in the nuclear power plants. Among several qualification approaches the qualification by the analysis using finite element (FE) method is the most common approach used in practice. However the predictions by the FE model for a structure is known to show significant deviations from the dynamic behaviour of 'as installed' structure in many cases. Considering such limitation, few researchers have advocated re-qualification of such structures after installation at site to enhance the confidence in qualification vis-$\grave{a}$-vis plant safety. For such an exercise the validation of FE model with experimental modal data is important. A validated FE model can be obtained by the Model Updating methods in conjugation with the in-situ experimental modal data. Such a model can then be used for qualification. Seismic analysis using the updated FE model and its advantage has been presented through an example of an in-core component - a perforated horizontal tube of a nuclear reactor.

Validation specifies and coordinates all relevant activities to ensure compliance with good laboratory practices (GLP) according to suitable international standards. This includes validation activities of past, present and future for the best possible actions to ensure the integrity of non-clinical laboratory data. Recently, validation has become increasingly important, not only in good manufacturing practice (GMP) institutions but also in GLP facilities. In accordance with the guideline for GLP regulations, all equipments used to generate, measure, or assess data should undergo validation to ensure that this equipment is of appropriate design and capacity and that it will consistently function as intended. Therefore, the implantation of validation processes is considered to be an essential step in a global institution. This review describes the procedures and documentations required for validation of GLP. It introduces basic elements such as the validation master plan, risk assessment, gap analysis, design qualification, installation qualification, operational qualification, performance qualification, calibration, traceability, and revalidation.

To maintain sustainability of nuclear energy as an important energy source, both safety problem and Spent Nuclear Fuels(SNFs) problem should be solved. In case of Gen-IV reactors such as fast reactor, SNFs can be used as fuels by using fast neutrons. It can be a suitable treatment method of high-level waste in near future. Liquid metals such as Sodium or Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) can be possibly used as a coolant to use fast neutrons. In this paper, it was described that natural circulation parameter studies, design analyses, material selections and a completion of facilities. To develop a natural circulation facility, thermal hydraulic analyses were performed. Installation technique of liquid metal natural circulation were secured.

In this study, the reduction schemes of ICRS(In-Cabinet Response Spectra), the main part of seismic safety qualification of old nuclear power plant(USI A-46 problem), are studied. To obtain accurate dynamic characteristics of cabinet structure, the cabinet structure modeled by frame model and its eigen analysis is performed. The three types of seismic retrofitting scenarios, such as 1) the installation of bracing, 2) installation of damper, 3) installation of tuned mass damper(TMD), are established and evaluated for the decreasing of ICRS. In the cases of 1) ＆ 2), since, the retrofitted structures show larger ICRS than that of original structure, the careful considerations are need in the application of these methods. Though, the case of TMD show the best retrofitting result, the tuning between the real structure and analysis model is estimated the essential step of retrofitting.

Testing evaluation is a part of process for design, production, evaluation, operation and abolition, and is the process of certifying system performance. The main purpose of testing evaluation is to reduce the risk factor under the determining process. Testing process has the three step such as design qualification, integration and validation test in factory, system integration and commissioning test. Design Qualification is to verify errors on the design process. Integration and validation test in factory is for the H/W and S/W of an equipment and is to verify interface of subsystem, communication protocol and main functions. System integration and commissioning test is a functional test to adjust successful installation of equipment. According to the testing process, briefly consideration for test item, test method and test contents about signalling system is carried out.

This paper presents the methodologies for seismic retrofitting of cabinet equipment which can be employed to resolve the USI A-46 problem related to seismic qualification of old nuclear power plant. To obtain accurate dynamic characteristics of a cabinet structure, three types of structural modeling are introduced and the their free vibration modes are compared. Three types of seismic retrofitting scenarios, such as 1) the installation of bracing, 2) installation of damper, 3) installation of tuned mass damper(TMD), are established and evaluated for the decrease of ICRS(In Cabinet Reponse Spectrum). In the cases of 1) ＆ 2), since the retrofitted structures show larger ICRS than that of the original structure, the careful considerations are need in the application of these methods. Though the installation of TMD shows the best retrofitting result, the construction of analysis model that indicate the accurate vibration modes of real structure is estimated the essential step of this retrofitting method.
