The seismic performance of the axial fan used in nuclear power plants (NPP) is investigated by using the commercial FEM software ANSYS. In the modal analysis, the first five orders of the natural frequencies of the axial fan is obtained, as well as the corresponding vibration modes. And in the spectrum analysis, the complete quadratic mode combination method is applied to determine the dynamic response of the axial fan under a random seismic excitation. The simulation results show that the seismic performance of the axial fan satisfies the requirement of the RCC-M 2007 design codes.
