Description

In this paper, provisions referred to artificial ground motions in different regulations for nuclear power plant have been investigated, difference of design earthquake input time-histories requirements between regulations which cited nowadays in China has been compared. Then, corresponding relationship while used to design for France Pressurized Water Reactor M310 and The Third Generation Advanced Reactor AP1000 has been listed. We reviewed technical background, requirement details, application situation of different regulations, analyzed their difference. These works could offer important references for emending the code for seismic design of nuclear power plants and other related codes. (authors)
