This guide was originally issued as Safety Guide No. 50-SG-S2. It provides details on the design of a nuclear power plant such that earthquakes at the site determined according to Safety Guide No. 50-SG-S1 will not jeopardize its safety. It gives guidance on methods and procedures for analysing, testing and qualifying structures and equipment such that they fulfil the purpose foreseen in the design.
