Performance of battery rack auxiliary power systems under FEMA 461 quasi-static seismic loading protocol
Abstract
The performance of nonstructural components in nuclear power plants (NPPs), which is primarily based on experience and historical data, has been attracting increased interest from researchers following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011.
