In 2009, the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) approved a proposal by the Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) to assess current knowledge on soil structure interaction (SSI) and its effect on the seismic assessment of NPP structures and components, which affects the dynamic response of the internal components and structures.

In co-ordination with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Seismic Subgroupof the WGIAGE organised a meeting in Ottawa, Canada on 6-8 October 2010 to review and disseminate recent findings and issues in SSI knowledge and effect on the seismic assessment of NPP structures and components. These proceedings document the results and conclusions of that meeting.
