Seismic Design
摘要
In Japan, a world prominent earthquake-ridden country, earthquakes have been inevitably regarded as the external events (so-called external initiating events) impacting nuclear power stations. In the meantime, the structural design described in Chapters 5 and 6 considered internal events (i.e., internally caused initiating events) taking place inside nuclear power stations. Efforts can be made to reduce the occurrence of events resulting from internal factors.
