Abstract
This paper presents some of the simplified procedures and methods used by AECL for the seismic qualification of CANDU Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). The approaches described herein are well tested and have been used in Canada and elsewhere for a number of years. Most of these simplified seismic analysis, testing and inspection procedures, and their underlying principals, have been accepted by the Atomic Energy Control Board of Canada for licensing purposes. In this respect, a comprehensive inspection of completed NPPs, to determine their ability to safely survive a design basis earthquake (DBE), is a prerequisite for licensing of CANDU NPP's in Canada. Many of the methods and recommendations given in the following tie in closely with [1].
