Additional information
Nuclear sesmic-safety assessments are currently most critical component of safety cases for new build and life extension. Accurate characterisation of seismic hazard is therefore crucial but challenging in areas of
low siesmicity where data is sparse and clustered. Study reveals sensitivity of localisation and amplitudes of predicted peak ground motions to different modelling strategies. Work underpins earthquake-input-motion selection for large-scale physical model tests to be carried out in 2014 within ongoing £3M+ contract (No. 4840383278) with EDF-Energy studying AGR graphite cores.
