For high earthquake resistance and ease of installation, free standing racks which are not anchored to the pool floor or walls has been adopted in many countries. Under the earthquake, the response of the free standing rack is highly nonlinear and involves a complex combination of motions (sliding, rocking, twisting, and turning) and impacts between the fuel assemblies and the fuel cell walls, rack-to-rack, and the pit floor and rack pedestals. We carried out seismic experiments on the full-scale rack ...

The purpose of implementing the Pre-Fire Plan with PRISM software is to assist firefighters to respond to fires properly and quickly by defining firefighting strategies (Pre-Fire Plan) including access routes for firefighters and location of fire-fighting equipment in advance. Fire could be a complex emergency causing unexpected failures and damages and it is extremely difficult to predict the necessary fire response. PRISM Pre-Fire Plan Software can display the fire-fighting strategy of each area of the pl...
