ANS 2.27-2008

  • Criteria for Investigations of Nuclear Facility Sites for Seismic Hazard Assessments
  • standard by American Nuclear Society, 07/31/2008
  • Publisher: ANS

$61.00$121.00


This standard provides criteria and guidelines for conducting geological, seismological, and geotechnical investigations needed to provide information to support:
  • seismic source characterization input to a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA);
  • evaluation of surface fault rupture hazard;
  • site response analysis; and
  • seismic-induced ground failure hazard.
These criteria are applicable for SDC-3, SDC-4, and SDC-5 SSCs.

This standard does not address the use of PSHA results or the selection of design basis events for nuclear facilities. These topics are covered in ANSI/ANS-2.26-2004 and ASCE/SEI 43-05, a - Seismic Design Criteria for Structures, Systems, and Components.
