Introduction

• Japan had 54 Nuclear Power Plant units before March 11, 2011. Now we have 50 units. U.S.A. has almost 100 NPP units and China has around 40.

• Japan, U.S.A and China are also earthquake prone countries. Seismologists and engineers have learned how to build safe NPPs against major earthquakes.

• The earthquake engineering technologies used for the design of NPPs are some of the most advanced technologies in the field of earthquake engineering.

• These technologies are usually transferred to the seismic design of ordinary buildings.

• Earthquake design and construction technologies of NPPs are very important in Japan, U.S.A, China and many other earthquake prone countries.

• The earthquake ground motions used for the design of NPPs are much stronger than those used for the design of ordinary buildings.

• As a result, a strong earthquake affecting an NPP will very rarely exceed the design criteria.

• But, in July of 2007 the Chuetsu‐oki earthquake affected the Kashiwazaki‐Kariba Nuclear Power Plant and the recorded earthquake ground motion exceeded the design ground motion.

• The earthquake did not significant damage at the plant;

• however much minor damage was observed.• Engineers from the Tokyo Electric Power Company, several professors, and I formed a research committee to study the earthquake response of this plant to the Chuetsu‐oki Earthquake.

Effects of tsunami on NPPs

• Almost all researchers and engineers in earthquake engineering, including me, have traditionally focused their attention to the vibration aspects of earthquakes;

• Very few have focused on the effects of tsunami on NPPs.

• Before March 11, 2011, we had not any experience that the tsunami hit nuclear power plant at all.

• Japanese seismic design guide wrote only one word of ‘tsunami’ at the final short sentence.

• Humankind is always optimist.• We cannot take into consideration before an accident that we have not experienced.

Different Thoughts

• When all engineers think or believe one common thought such as "earthquake is vibration", it will be very dangerous against next earthquake.

• Nature always thinks all.• Other disaster such as Tsunami will be happened in the next earthquake.

• We have to think many things and different thoughts are always important.
