In recent years, significant experience of the effects of high wind and flooding on nuclear installations has been gained worldwide. These phenomena may simultaneously affect all the structures, systems and components important to safety at a nuclear installation site. By detailing the methodologies and providing case studies for the evaluation of meteorological and hydrological hazards, this publication supports IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSG-18, Meteorological and Hydrological Hazards in Site Evaluation for Nuclear Installations. In the first part of the publication, wind hazards relating to tropical cyclones, tornadoes, extratropical storms, thunderstorms and wind-borne debris are discussed. The second part covers external flooding hazards (excluding tsunamis) relating to wind induced coastal flooding, wind generated waves on rivers, extreme precipitation and runoff events and the sudden release of impounded water.

This book examines the tsunami phenomenon with the focus on its relevance for hazard assessment at nuclear power plant sites. Three tsunamigenic mechanisms (earthquakes, landslides, and volcanoes) are considered. Also discussed are offshore and onshore modelling of tsunami waves and their effects on nuclear power plant structures, systems, and components. Identification of the repository of historic tsunami data and ways to approach site safety assessment for tsunamis by a Nuclear Regulatory Commission is also reviewed.

This book is the first major attempt to address, comprehensively and in-depth, the many issues associated with water and disasters. It is particularly relevant and topical in view of the increasing frequency and intensity of water-triggered disasters that have afflicted the world in recent years, among them the Indian Ocean Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Water and Disasters is a global survey - and assessment of the causes, consequences and post-recovery policies - concerning water disasters. The chapters include empirical studies, case histories, conceptual-theoretical investigations, policy perspectives, institutional analysis, and risk analysis, among others. The book features a comprehensive discussion of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, as well as major floods and droughts in England, Wales, China and the western United States. It also includes chapters on advances in decision support systems for flood disaster management and rainfall insurance. This volume should be of special interest to disaster management planners and practitioners globally, primarily in the domain of water, in crafting creative solutions for tackling the disasters effectively, efficiently and rapidly. This book was previously published as a special issue of International Journal of Water Resources Development.

This Special Publication examines tsunami hazard and risk, with particular focus on using the geological record. With Earth’s growing population clustered increasingly on coastlines, tsunami hazards are of concern worldwide. The papers explore the sedimentological and dynamic traces of recent and prehistoric tsunamis globally – from Europe to the Pacific – as well as looking at historic records and how the information can be used to characterise the scale of impacts and areas that are most susceptible to tsunami hazards. Armed with this information, scientists can begin to quantify risks, both to populations and in economic terms. This volume is aimed both at scientists working in this field and at a wider community, interested in tsunami science and natural hazard assessment.
The Orphan Tsunami of 1700

A puzzling tsunami entered Japanese history in January 1700. Samurai, merchants, and villagers wrote of minor flooding and damage. Some noted having felt no earthquake; they wondered what had set off the waves but had no way of knowing that the tsunami was spawned during an earthquake along the coast of northwestern North America. This orphan tsunami would not be linked to its parent earthquake until the mid-twentieth century, through an extraordinary series of discoveries in both North America and Japan. The Orphan Tsunami of 1700, now in its second edition, tells this scientific detective story through its North American and Japanese clues. The story underpins many of today�s precautions against earthquake and tsunami hazards in the Cascadia region of northwestern North America. The Japanese tsunami of March 2011 called attention to these hazards as a mirror image of the transpacific waves of January 1700.
