Construction Problems of Volume Protected by Air-Termination Rod for the Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant Under Standard en 62305

Abstract

Mathematical analysis of the rolling sphere method was performed to develop a model for constructing of volume protected by rod air-termination in accordance with EN 62305:2012 for the protection of nuclear power plants objects from direct lightning strike. The necessity of development of the corresponding mathematical model for similar objects is shown, and the direction of its realization with the help of decomposition method is proposed. The mathematical models for calculation of protection zones of single and double air-termination rods of arbitrary height and location are developed. Directions of further researches are formed.
