Original Abstract

This article is a contribution to the discussion about nuclear safety which has listen after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The paper does not deal with the containment of a particular nuclear power plant, but analyses the impact of an airliner on a containment structure. The following parametric study involving different materials and thicknesses could be used to estimate the extent of damage caused by the impact of plane on any specific planned or existing nuclear power plant containment structure. The knowledge gained from this study might also be applied to the detailed impact analysis of a plane on other particular nuclear power plant containment structures as needed.
