[SCG56-04] A guide to JAEE report and its supplement on road map for seismic safety research of nuclear power plants

Keywords:Nuclear Power Plant, seismic safety, Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering, road map

A report and its supplement by Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering (JAEE) are introduced for information sharing between researchers of earth science and engineering.
JAEE published a report on road map for seismic safety research of nuclear power plants in 2011 by a research committee on seismic safety of nuclear power plants. The committee originally planned to complete the report in March 2011. However, the report was finally published in October 2011 with newly proposed supplement considering severe casualty of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station due to the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake.
The report is useful to know design concept of engineering and to recognize strenuous demands on nuclear politics for the earth science researches.
