Abstract
INTRODUCTION ..
In Egypt the electric energy demand in the last two decades
is increasing at an average rate of 12.8% and it is expected
that th1s trend will continue but with slightly lower rate
to meet growing needs of electric energy required for industry,
agriculture and social development. Arab Republic of Egypt plans
to construct a nuclear power plant (N.P.P.) based on pressured
water reactor IPWR) using enriched Uranium as a fuel •
EL.-Dabaa,has been chosen -~s a suitable site since 1982 for building
a first N.P.P in Egypt. Earthquake activity and seismic
hazard studies are important components of the seismic aspects
of nuclear power plant siting. ror this reason a study of the
effect of earthquakes at EL-Dabaa will be carried out.
An Earthquake has been a greatest fury of nature and has
caused an immense damage of life and property from time to time
in various areas of the world. In Egypt the history of strong
destructive earthquakes goes back to 2800 B.C,when a destructive
shock happened at east of the Nile Delta. Its maximu’Tl intensity
was 7 MMS (modefied mercall scale), Sieberg (1932B). Ambraseys
(1961) reported that Egypt was shaken on April 955 A.D
by an earthquake. Poirier and Taher (1980) dated it as lst,January
950 and estimated its intensity at Alexandria as 8 MMS.
Ambraseys (1961) reported that Egypt and in particular Cilro was
shaken’by seven earthquakes and many persons lo~t their lives
ill 15 June 1211, Poirier and Taber (19 80) estimated the main shock
intensity to De 8 MMS at Cairo and its date to be 2 may 1
