seismic effect

Seismic hazard assessment at the site of Zaporizhzhya NPP

Purpose. Refinement of the estimated seismic hazard area accommodation Zaporizhzhya atomterm elektrostantsii (ZNPP) to check the earthquake resistance of modern Zaporizhzhya and compliance with its prognoznym seismic effects and the requirements of the IAEA. Methods. The use of modern methodologies and techniques of longterm forecast of seismic hazard is based on probabilistic and deterministic characteristics of seismicity, foci and focal zones of strong earthquakes according to both laws and random factors of space-time and energy organizing seismotectonic process.
