Extension of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis to account for the spatial variability of ground motions at a multi-unit nuclear power plant hard-rock site

Nuclear power plant (NPP) sites typically consist of multiple reactors (units). When earthquakes occur in the vicinity of these sites, effects will be experienced at all units. However, a seismic probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) of a multi-unit site typically only considers the possibility of adverse conditions at a single unit or, if multiple unit impacts are considered, typically assumes that all units at the site experience the same ground...
