Beneficial and Detrimental Effects of Soil-Structure Interaction on Probabilistic Seismic Hazard and Risk of Nuclear Power Plant

<div>Conceptual image of the five key steps in a PSHA: (a) Step 1: identify the earthquake sources; (b) Step 2: define the distribution of the earthquake magnitude; (c) Step 3: define the distribution of earthquake distances; (d) Step 4: set the ground motion prediction model; (e) Step 5: annual rate of exceeding the seismic hazard intensity as determined by combining steps 1–4.</div>
