13 (A-2) Implementation of training seminar JNES supported two training seminars. 1 st Training Seminar in Korea (25-26 June 2008) Operational training of TSUNAMI & TSUNAMI-Mesh Sample analysis in Users Manual (2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami) Dispatch of Code experts 13

14 (A-2) Implementation of training seminar cont. 2 nd Training Seminar in Turkey (25-27 March 2009) Suggestion of the participants work Benchmark analysis Site specific analysis in each countries Dispatch of Code experts 14

15 (A-3) Co-operative work with Participants transferred codes cont. AERB (India) & JNES Target : 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, Kalpakkam site Bathymetry Data : ETOPO2, GEBCO, Proprietary data Analysis : Far-field and Near-field, Run-up Mesh size : 5 min. or 6 min. (Far-field) 1350m ~ 50m (Near-field) AERB could use not only default but also Indian coast proprietary topo. data. Near-field TSUNAMI code was update through this work Analysis domain of far-field 15

18 Tsunami Source Modeling Incorporated Administrative Agency Tsunami Analysis for Vietnam NPP Topography Modeling Open Topography Data (ETOPO2) Mesh Generator Code Manshinha and Smylie(1971) mgg/fliers/01mgg04.html Tsunami Analysis Tsunami Analysis Code JNES provided Tsunami code to IAEA EBP project. If VARANS and VAEC join the project, they can get the data and codes. We recommend you to join IAEA New EBP and try Tsunami Analysis. 18

19 JNES had already NUCLEAR SAFETY SEMINAR at VIETNAM, March 2009 JNES hope meeting again in order to discuss NPP safety sitting 19

20 JNES Achievements 6. Summary Act.2 on IAEA Tsunami EBP had be implemented to share among MS tsunami analysis tech. and knowledge in relation to tsunami hazard assessment for nuclear power plant. In this EBP, JNES had aimed at helpful contributions based on the cooperative work with MS not the one-side contributions. JNES achieved our (A-1~3) agreements at Kick-off meeting and supported (B) benchmark analysis. (A-1) Provision of Codes & Manuals (A-2) Implementation of Training Seminar (A-3) Co-operative work with Participants transferred codes (B) Benchmark analysis JNES hope These transferred codes will take root at Member States of IAEA. These transferred codes will be used for the tsunami hazard assessment of nuclear power plants in future activities of IAEA or Member States. 20
