Conclusion

Audience: With the global warming and sea level rising, the frequency and intensity of extreme external natural hazards would increase. All the coastal areas having NPP are menaced by possibility of future typhoon disasters. So calibration of typhoon disaster prevention criteria is necessary for existed and planning NPP. For coastal sites, IAEA, U.S. NRC and China different Government Ministries recommended defferent design codes. This book firstly discussed this important problem.
