SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF MAJOR COMPONENTS IN CRITICAL SYSTEM OF SINAGAMA IRRADIATION PLANT, PENINSULAR MALAYSIA

Earthquake has been known to cause much damage to industrial facilities. This research aims to assess the seismic response for the source storage pool cooling system of the Cobalt-60 Irradiator in the Sinagama industrial building, Peninsular Malaysia. Said industrial facility houses radioactive mat...
