Seismic response and its analysis for components of Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plants in 2007 Niigata-ken Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake

The Niigata-ken Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake (hereinafter referred to as “the NCO Earthquake”) occurred in 2007 with a hypocenter very close to Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “TEPCO”). TEPCO's subsequent plant in...
