Abstract EN
In case of some nuclear power plants constructed at the soft soil sites, liquefaction should be analysed as beyond design basis hazard.
The aim of the analysis is to define the postevent condition of the plant, definition of plant vulnerabilities, and identification of the necessary measures for accident management.
In the paper, the methodology of the analysis of liquefaction effects for nuclear power plants is outlined.
The procedure includes identification of the scope of the safety analysis and the acceptable limit cases for plant structures having different role from accident management point of view.
Considerations are made for identification of dominating effects of liquefaction.
The possibility of the decoupling of the analysis of liquefaction effects from the analysis of vibratory ground motion is discussed.
It is shown in the paper that the practicable empirical methods for definition of liquefaction susceptibility provide rather controversial results.
Selection of method for assessment of soil behaviour that affects the integrity of structures requires specific considerations.
The case of nuclear power plant at Paks, Hungary, is used as an example for demonstration of practical importance of the presented results and considerations.
