This Standard provides a basis for specifying requirements for seismic instrumentation. The recorded data
of seismic activity will be used to compare actual and predicted responses, and to assess the need for
further detailed inspections. This Standard aids owners of nuclear power plants and nuclear facilities in the
determination of the extent and nature of instrumentation to be installed. It also is intended to aid owners
and equipment suppliers by specifying instrumentation commensurate with Canadian nuclear safety
principles.
