Moore, D L; Jones, D M; Quilici, M D; Young, J

The overall objectives of this review are to assess the seismic margins of the Maine Yankee pressurized water reactor, and to test the adequacy of this review approach, quantification techniques, and guidelines for performing the review. Results from the trial review will be used to revise the seismic margin methodology and guidelines so that the NRC and industry can readily apply them to assess the inherent quantitative seismic capacity of nuclear power plants.
