Volcanic and Tectonic Hazard Assessment for Nuclear Facilities - jacs127 - 10-06-2010 Volcanic and Tectonic Hazard Assessment for Nuclear Facilities
VOLCANIC AND TECTONIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT FOR NUCLEAR FACILITIES Geoscientists worldwide are developing and applying methodologies to estimate geologic hazards associated with the siting of nuclear facilities, including nuclear power plants and underground repos- itories for long-lived radioactive wastes. Understanding such hazards, particularly in the context of the long functional lifetimes of many nuclear facilities, is a challenging task. This book documents the current state of the art in volcanic and tectonic hazard assessment for proposed nuclear facilities, which must be located in areas where the risks associated with geologic processes can be quantified and are demonstrably low. Specific topics include overviews of volcanic and tectonic processes, the history of development of hazard assessment methodologies, description of current techniques for characterizing hazards, and development of probabilistic methods for estimating risks and uncertainties. Examples of hazard assessments are drawn from around the world, including the United States, Great Britain, Sweden, Switzerland and Japan. This volume will promote much interest and debate about this important topic among research scientists and graduate students actively developing methods in geologic hazard assessment, geolo- gists and engineers charged with assessing the safety of nuclear facilities and those with regulatory responsibility to evaluate such assessments.
