Featuring Dr. Frank Vernon
Join us to learn about the USArray Transportable Array!
In this session, Dr. Frank Vernon will discuss the operations of the USArray Transportable Array from the perspective of the command and control of the field stations and sensors using automatic and manually initiated processes.
This informative webinar + Q&A will help engineers, operators, and regulators understand the approach associated with the success of this important system.
Featuring Dennis Pumphrey, Kinemetrics, Inc.
Join us as we take a deep dive into the Etna2 accelerograph.
In this session, Dennis Pumphrey will present a detailed evaluation of the significant features and capabilities of the Etna2 accelerograph. He will help us understand its use, and how its flexibility makes it easy to adapt for use in different applications.
This informative webinar + Q&A will provide engineers, facilities teams, and building owners with a complete view of what is possible with the Kinemetrics Etna2.
Featuring Dr. Vladimir Graizer, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Join us for a review of the data and operational experience within the Watts Bar Nuclear Power Plant during the Decatur, TN earthquake!
In this webinar, special guest speaker Dr. Vladimir Graizer with the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission will discuss the Watts Bar NPP operational experience during the M4.4 Decatur, TN earthquake of 12-Dec-2018.
This informative webinar + Q&A session will explain why high-quality, digital strong motion records are so important in determining Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) exceedance to support continuing plant operations after the earthquake.
Featuring Dr. Philippe Renault
Join us to learn about how seismic monitoring can be utilized in support of nuclear power plants!
In this session, guest speaker Dr. Philippe Renault will discuss the motivation and background for a new seismic network at the Swiss NPP sites, including:
* Selection and criteria for employed equipment.
* Lessons learned from the building and installation process.
* Data collection experience and post-processing for scientific purposes.
Featuring Dr.Mathias Franke, Kinemetrics, Inc.
Join us to take a look at how to improve Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) systems.
EEW has a wide range of potential benefits from public alerts to machine interaction preventing loss of life and costly damages. It also has its limitations due to network topology, geological conditions, and processing uncertainties. Extending EEW to the immediate evaluation and alerting of the ground motion – Now-Casting – is a fantastic tool to improve earthquake warning systems.
In this session, Mathias Franke will demonstrate how real-time response spectra can deliver Now-Casting in new and existing EEW systems.
