Rather, the occurrence of faults is accepted and measures are taken as to limit the implications of the fault and maintain the operability despite these impairments.
The objective of the current study is to assess the safety implications of near-fault earthquakes (NFE) on nuclear power plant structures designed according to North American codes.

Finally, we present the potential implications of the splay faults in the Nankai subduction zone.
In the light of our results, we discuss the implications of b-value changes in geothermal reservoir in terms of fault asperities and normal stress evolution.
