Geologic evaluation of a site for a nuclear power plant
Description
The scope and detail of geologic studies made for a nuclear power plant site far exceed those made for any other type of engineering structure. The regional and local physiography, geomorphology, geologic history, lithology, stratigraphy, and structural geology must be studied through (1) reviewing the literature, (2) discussions with local, academic, State and Federal geologists, geophysicists, and seismologists, and (3) original geologic mapping, geophysical studies, and subsurface investigations
