Abstract
The indispensable requisites to which the decision of the siting for a Nuclear Power Reactor is to be subjected are so complicated with a consideration of social conditions, natural environments, industrial surroundings etc. incorporated and eventurally consolidated.
The condition of isolation required from the view to ensuring the safety for the public even in case of most unlikely accident would be almost inconsistent with the requisites for the economical preference of siting in bulky electric consuming areas.
In this paper, the authors' effort is to cover from the outline of the Site Criteria in USA and UK and “A Guide in Reactor Site Evaluation” in Japan to the detailed and general requirements with respect to the choice of Nuclear Power Reactor Site, showing example of siting four Nuclear Power Stations in Japan together with safety analysis thereof as on the attached list.
