Séismes et autres phénomènes connexes à prendre en considération pour le choix des sites de centrales nucléaires

Description

This guide puts the main emphasis on determining ground motion as an input to the design of a nuclear power plant and on determining any potential for surface faulting at a selected site. The type of information required and the investigations to be performed are described in the context of their dependence on the geological, seismological and geotectonical aspects of the region.
