preface
One of the tasks of the Geopb7sical Division of the Royal
Netherlands Meteorological Institute is to give advice in matters
of seismicity. In the present era of design and construction of
nuclear power plants. risk evaluation and analysis for earthquakes
has become more necessary than ever. In the Netherlands
this has lead to a more detailed study of local seismicity. and
to the initiation of a close co~operation with seismic experts
of neighbouring countries to remove some of the existing
ambiguities in seismic zoning at the mutual national borders.
The study of seismic risks. especially in the absence of
long series of seismic observations, is a problem common to many
European countries. This was also reflected in the Symposium on
Earthquake risk for nuclear power plants • held in Luxemburg on
October 20-22, 1975, under auspices of the European Seismological
Commission. The present Volume of the Publication Series of the
Institute contains the Proceedings of this Symposium. It is
supposed to give the work done locally an essential and wider
perspective on European scale. Apart from our own interest in
the matter, it is hoped that many colleagues from other countries
in and outside Europe will profit from this publication.
The Proceedings are edited by Dr. A.R. Ritsema, convener of
the Symposium, with the special aid, advice and assistence of
Miss J.H.W.M. Vermeulen, P.A.S. Doets, G. Houtgast and J.J. Wittebol,
all members of the Institute. The former Director in Chief,
Dr. M.W.F. Schregardus. actively promoted the publication. The fact
that the authors delivered in time print-ready manuscripts made
publication possible within three months of the Symposium.
