Abstract
Since 1992 the IAEA has been assisting Member States to develop NPP specific guidelines used in post-construction seismic safety reevaluation. Technical guidelines were developed with the aim to establish a general framework within which a seismic reevaluation of an operating NPP can be carried out. These guidelines will form the basis of an IAEA Safety Report on seismic evaluation of the existing nuclear facilities. Forty papers from 26 countries were presented. Most of the papers reviewed activities in the field of seismic reevaluation and upgrading of existing plants carried out in recent years. This is essential for the IAEA in the development of a unified approach to the seismic reevaluation of existing facilities applicable to WWERs, CANDU, PWRs, etc. A number of papers deal with the CRP benchmark study for the seismic analysis and testing of WWER type NPPs organized by the IAEA (1993-1997). The focal activities of the CRP were benchmarking exercises, applying similar methodology both for Paks NPP and Kozloduy NPP Unit 5 to test the NPP (mainly reactor building) using blast loading generated by a series of artificially generated underground explosions. This work highlighted the reliability of the available numerical tools, the need for further research, and
