Abstract
The vibratory ground motion criteria for nuclear plant sites in the United States are based on comprehensive geologic, seismologic and site soils investigations. This paper summarizes the field, laboratory and office studies necessary to evaluate the regional geology and seismology of the region surrounding the site; results from these studies are used to define the most significant earthquakes for the site. In addition, field and laboratory investigations of site soil properties at nuclear plant sites are outlined; these investigations lead to the dynamic soil properties required for site-response analyses, and to the generalized subsurface profile for the site.
