“…The methodology that provides guidelines for the preliminary evaluation of the safety of NPPs, which are subject to strong seismic motions, was outlined in [121]. Howard, Ibáñez, and Smith [122] focused on reviewing and assessing the standards and the methods (analytical and experimental) used in the seismic design of NPPs that assure their safety.…”

A strong trend of returning to nuclear power is evident in different places in the world. Forty-five countries are planning to add nuclear power to their grids and more than 66 nuclear power plants are under construction.Nuclear power plants that generate electricity and steam need to improve safety to become more acceptable to governments and the public. One novel practical solution to increase nuclear power plants' safety factor is to build them away from urban areas, such as offshore or underground. To date, Land-Based siting is the dominant option for siting all commercial operational nuclear power plants. However, the literature reveals several options for building nuclear power plants in safer sitings than Land-Based siting.The alternatives are several and each has advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to distinguish among them and choose the best for a specific project. In this research, we recall the old idea of using the alternatives of offshore and underground sitings for new nuclear power plants and propose a tool to help in choosing the best siting technology.

Recent natural disaster events have caused damage to structures and led to loss of lives. Steel structure industrial building is one of the important structures that needs to be examined as these structures can have huge impact on the surrounding areas. Therefore, this study presents the fragility curves and performance curves of steel structure industrial building under earthquake loading. The structure consisted of beam, column, and bracing were modelled using three dimensional finite element modelling. The fragility curves were obtained for the structure, and the performance curves were developed based on lateral load, which was affected by the geometry of the building. Three records of far-field ground motion and three records of local ground motion were used for incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). The five levels of performance stated by FEMA-273, namely, operational phase (OP), immediate occupancy (IO), damage control (DC), life safety (LS), and collapse prevention (CP) were used as main guidelines to evaluate the structural performance. Results showed that, probability damage for operational phase, OP started at 0.19g and 5% of the structure analysed are expected to have immediate occupancy IO, indicating minor cracks to the structure at 0.4g PGA. Moreover, the performance response of the structure to the earthquake was obtained from the study.
