| Abstract: | The accelerated growth in the offshore oil exploration, the rapid escalation of oil prices, and the growing concern on the environmental effects of land based nuclear plants should considerably increase the confidence in the offshore Floating Nuclear Plant (FNP) concept.The paper presents the state-of-the-art on the dynamic analysis of FNPs from the viewpoint of fluid-structure interaction effects. The topics covered include the dynamic analysis of the sub-systems, namely, (1) basin oscillations, (2) floating platform supporting the power plant, and (3) mooring systems. Application of the finite element technique is illustrated, and the hydrodynamic results obtained by various authors are discussed. |
