Keywords:seismic design criterion, nuclear power, earth science community

A sequence of discussion on seismic design criteria at Ooi nuclear power plant is described for discussion in this session. It took place after my presentation at 2015 JpGU (see 'Maximum-class’ Japan Sea tsunami scenarios are less than maximum-class, e0002 KAGAKU Nov. 2016 Vol. 86). This presentation aims to present an example on how things have been going on among earth science community, Nuclear Regulatory Authority, and power companies in Japan.
