The paper presents the world state-of-the-art of the Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs)
provided with seismic isolation and focuses on the main problems related to the
application of this technology to so peculiar structures, characterized by high
masses, large sizes and severe safety requirements due to the possibility of relevant
accidents with release of radioactivity and other extremely dangerous materials.
Difficulties in the application of seismic isolation to NPPs are mainly due to the lack
of specific standards and to the need of manufacturing and testing quite large
isolators and using interface components like pipe expansion joints.
