Abstract :
Purchase specifications for switch-gear for nuclear powered generator stations require some level of earthquake survival demonstration. There being no established standard for such a demonstration, it was considered necessary to develop and conduct a testing program which gave assurance of compliance with both structural and electrical operating needs.
