Enhanced Seismic Protection System for an Emergency Diesel Generator Unit

Energies, 2022
Nuclear power plants are required to maintain operation after an earthquake, leading to a safe shutdown if necessary. In the case of a loss of offsite power, the onsite emergency diesel generator is critical to ensure procedural operations of the nuclear

Forecasting strong aftershocks in earthquake clusters from northeastern Italy and western Slovenia

, 2020
In this study, we propose an analysis of the earthquake clusters that occurred in North-Eastern Italy and western Slovenia from 1977 to today. Given a mainshock generating alarm in the population, we are interested in forecasting if a similar magnitude ...
