The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) are continuing a collaborative effort to achieve a better understanding of the effects of aging on the performance of structures and passive components (SPCs) in nuclear power plants (NPPs). This paper presents a seismic fragility analysis of a condensate storage tank (CST) with multiple degradation scenarios that are treated in a non-perfectly correlated manner. The analysis utilizes a set of optimum Latin Hypercube samples to characterize the deterioration behavior of the fragility capacity as a function of age-related degradations. This study is an addition to the previous study summarized in an ICONE19 paper entitled “Seismic Fragility Analysis of a Degraded Condensate Storage Tank” [1], which considered individual degradation scenarios and multiple degradations occurring in a perfectly correlated manner.
