N2 - Numerical models of a sample nuclear power plant (NPP) reactor building, both conventionally constructed and equipped with seismic protective systems, are analyzed for design-basis and beyond-design-basis earthquake shaking at a West Coast site in the United States. Seismic demands on secondary systems are established for the conventional and seismically isolated NPPs. The reductions in secondary-system acceleration and deformation demands afforded by the isolation systems are identified. The impact of using spectrum-matched ground motions for predicting demands on structural and secondary systems is addressed.
