Publication InformationManuscript Completed: September 2002 Prepared by Prepared for AbstractFrom 1981 to 1989, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) developed a Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) method for the eastern United States (NUREG/CR-5250), followed in 1993 by improvements in the handling of the uncertainties (NUREG-1488). Differences between these results and those of a utilities sponsored study (Electric Power Research Institute, 1989) led to the formation of the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee (SSHAC) to identify the sources of differences and give guidance on how to perform a state-of the-art PSHA (NUREG/CR-6372, 1997). The present study is a trial implementation of the SSHAC guidance. As
part of the project, additional guidance was developed and proposed for
performing a PSHA. The trial implementation project tested the issue of
development of the seismic zonation and seismicity models for two sites:
Watts Bar and Vogtle. It was found that the uncertainty |
