The IAEA’s Statute authorizes it to “establish…standards of safety for protection of health and minimization of danger to life and property”. These are standards that the IAEA must apply to its own operations, and that States can apply through their national regulations. Radioactivity is a natural phenomenon and natural sources of radiation are features of the environment. Radiation…

The response of a nuclear installation’s structure during an earthquake depends on the characteristics of the ground motion, the surrounding soil and the structure itself. Soil– structure interaction (SSI) analysis is used to evaluate the effects of seismic ground motion on an installation’s structure, system and components, to ensure it is designed to withstand the effects of earthquakes…
This report provides guidance for conducting seismic safety evaluation programmes for existing nuclear power plants in a manner consistent with internationally recognized practice. It will be useful for regulatory organizations and other organizations responsible for the implementation of seismic safety evaluation programmes.
Outstanding advances have been achieved on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Microzonation in the last decade mostly due to the increase in the recorded instrumental in-situ data and large number of case studies conducted in analyzing the observed effects during the recent major earthquakes. During the 15th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering held in Is…
The study of historical earthquakes is very often the place to start in designing critical facilities. For this reason, accurate investigations on ancient events have been performed in all those countries in which the knowledge of the maximum level of hazard could directly affect the realization of important manmade structures. Italy is the most seismic area among the European industrialized co…
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami damaged the Madras Atomic Power Station in India and led to a new understanding of the importance of flooding hazards caused by tsunamis at nuclear power plant sites. The Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami in 2011, which heavily damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, re-emphasized the importance of tsunami hazard assessments. Recognizing…
