P- The guestian of appropriate selsde design of nuclear power plants I

^.y;. has resently esenpf ta h uttention of the Advisory Cosetttee en e L, Beactor Safeguards. Most of this study has been ealled for because y of proposals to sonstruet unclear power plants in seismically actiw 1y senes. There have, heuver, also;been.guestians relatin to plants .

L- to be built in regions ukere seismie activity is low er where h l l.$$p .eeisnio history is besea en 1sacertain doeusentation of earth movement' '

h Committee believes,that, especial 1F in, esses of W 1atter kind, 1y . useertsiaties tu W geology or h seisats,ity may eause a trend - '

'13 toward shoosing design methods or design parameters with mon een-gF servatism ha is meesssary Adeguate seisnie design guides that ,

@~ ' provide protection eenparable with that provided by other safety '. j j finatures of muelear pisats are needst. - - '

y Before seisnie design guides er parsmaters are adopted for sones of  ;

relative seismie gaiet, h Committee suggests further eensideration l of the guestion of earthquake probability and magnitude for these ,
