“Wet” spent nuclear fuel repositories represent a potential hazard to people and the environment, so their seismic stability is an important and urgent issue. Design feature of such buildings is the presence of rigid concrete bottom and flexible framed top, which is the most vulnerable to earthquakes.

This article describes the evaluation of the effectiveness of the damping devices to improve the seismic resistance of the flexible framed top of the existing «wet» storage facility of spent nuclear fuel of VVER-1000 reactors.
