Practical research of free standing rack (Seismic experiment study on full scale free standing rack)
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015 The spent fuel taken out of a plant reactor is temporarily stored in a spent fuel rack. This fuel will often have to be stored in the rack for long periods before it can be moved to a reprocessing facility. Therefore, the spent fuel rack must have a high
