"Volcanic and Tectonic Hazard Assessment for Nuclear Facilities" ed. by Charles B. Connor, Neil A. Chapman, Laura J. Connor
Cambridge University Press | 2009 | ISBN: 0521887976 | 670 pages | PDF/djvu | 21/10 Mb
This book documents the current state-of-the-art in volcanic and tectonic hazard assessment for proposed nuclear facilities, which must be located in areas where the risks associated with geologic processes are quantifiable and demonstrably low.

Specific topics include overviews of volcanic and tectonic processes, the history of development of hazard assessment methodologies, description of current techniques for characterizing hazards, and development of probabilistic methods for estimating risks. Hazard assessment examples are drawn from around the world.
• Provides an overview of tectonic and volcanic processes to refresh the reader on the primary processes that create hazards
• Describes historical and current methods for geologic hazard assessments and discusses issues and pitfalls
• Includes case studies from particular sites to demonstrate the practical application of hazard assessment methods
This volume will promote interest and debate about this important topic among researchers and graduates developing methods in geologic hazard assessment, geologists and engineers who assess the safety of nuclear facilities, and regulatory bodies that evaluate such assessments.
