Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis

Abstract

The NRC Committee on Seismology established the Panel on Seismic Hazard Analysis to assess methodologies. The panel concentrated on the probabilistic method but also examined alternatives. The panel's discussions included a review of the extensive hazard analyses for the eastern United States by the Electric Power Research Institute and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. A questionnaire about the attributes of seismic hazard analysis methods was sent to members of the scientific and technical community and decision makers. The report is addressed to decision makers with a modest scientific and technical background and to the scientific and technical community.
