New regulatory requirement and frameworks. 330 $aThis book reviews the active faults around nuclear power plants in Japan and recommends an optimal method of nuclear power regulation controlled by the Nuclear Regulation Authority of Japan. The active faults around nuclear power plants have been underestimated in Japan since the latter half of the 20th century. However, based on the lessons learned from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the book sheds light on why the risks of active faults were underestimated, and discusses the optimal scientific method of assessing those risks. Further, the author shares his experiences in the new standard for nuclear regulation creation team and in the active fault survey at the Nuclear Regulation Authority of Japan. This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, academic and policy-makers, as well as non-experts interested in nuclear safety. 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aQuality control 606 $aReliability 606 $aIndustrial safety 606 $aNuclear energy 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aGeology, Structural 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032 606 $aNuclear Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aStructural Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17040 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aQuality control. 615 0$aReliability. 615 0$aIndustrial safety. 615 0$aNuclear energy. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aGeology, Structural. 615 14$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk. 615 24$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aStructural Geology. 676 $a343.52092 700 $aSuzuki$b Yasuhiro$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0802105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373894003321 996 $aActive Faults and Nuclear Regulation$92022318 997 $aUNINA
