ICTP-IAEA Workshop in Miramare, Trieste, 15-19 May 2006
"Conduct of Seismic Hazard Analyses for Critical Facilities"
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, in
collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),
will organize a Workshop on the "Conduct of Seismic Hazard
Analyses for Critical Facilities”. The Workshop will be held in
Miramare, Italy, from 15 – 19 May 2006 and will be co-directed by
Messrs. Aybars Gürpinar and Antonio Godoy (IAEA). Prof. G.F.
Panza (Dept. of Earth Sciences, University of Trieste/ICTP, Trieste)
will be the Local Organizer.
The IAEA recently (2002) published the second revision of the
Safety Guide on “Evaluation of Seismic Hazards for Nuclear Power
Plants”. The new revision is based on the feedback from the
seismic safety review services of the IAEA to different nuclear
installations over the past decade (approximately 100 reviews),
findings from recent major earthquakes, incorporation of new
methods of research (such as paleoseismology) and recent trends
in regulatory approaches. The Workshop will also address new
initiatives in dealing with the evaluation of earthquake intensities
based on terrestrial manifestations. In this
context the INQUA intensity scale will be introduced to the
participants and, in particular, its uses will be
discussed in the estimation of maximum magnitudes.
As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants
should be covered by the home institution.
Every effort should be made by candidates to secure support for
their fare (or at least half fare). However, limited funds are available
for some participants. There is no registration fee for attending the
Workshop. For logistic reasons, connected with the number of
Personal Computers available, the total number of participants in
the Workshop is limited.
The Application Form is obtainable from the ICTP WWW server:
http://agenda.ictp.it/smr.php.1747
which will be constantly up-dated, or from the activity Secretariat. It
should be completed and returned before 30 January 2006.
I take this opportunity to whish you all the best for the Holy
Christmas and a Happy 2006.
Looking forward to meeting you in Miramare!!
Alessandro M. Michetti
Chairman
INQUA Subcommission on Paleoseismicity
