<strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>Course</strong> (BPTC) on Nuclear Safety<br />

Effect of the plant on the region;<br />

Population considerations.<br />

The acceptability of a site is closely related to the design of the proposed nuclear power<br />

plant. From the safety po<strong>in</strong>t of view, a site is acceptable if there are technical solutions to<br />

site problems that give assurance that the proposed plant can be built and operated with<br />

an acceptably low risk to the population of the region.<br />

5.1.2. Evaluation of the effect of the region on the plant<br />

5.1.2.1. External natural events<br />

Criteria for design basis for external natural events<br />

Natural phenomena which may exist or can occur <strong>in</strong> the region of a proposed site shall be<br />

identified and should be classified accord<strong>in</strong>g to the potential for effects they may have on<br />

the safe operation of the NPP. Historical records of the occurrences and severity of those<br />

important natural phenomena shall be collected for the region and carefully analyzed for<br />

reliability, accuracy and completeness. Appropriate methodologies shall be adopted for<br />

establish<strong>in</strong>g the design basis natural events for important natural phenomena.<br />

Evaluation of Design Basis for External Natural Events shall consider site‐specific data,<br />

or data sufficiently relevant for the region.<br />

Earthquakes<br />

The seismology and the geology of the region and the eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g geology of a proposed<br />

site shall be evaluated. Information on historical and <strong>in</strong>strumentally recorded earthquakes<br />

that have occurred <strong>in</strong> the region shall be collected and documented. The <strong>in</strong>tensity of the<br />
