A seismic qualification database being developed on the basis of proper experience and a large volume of results obtained in previous works (more than 5000 pieces of inspected equipment) can increase the efficacy of computational-experimental evaluation of the seismic resistance of the equipment in commissioned power-generating units at NPPs and power units with extended service-life. The set of parameters to be included in the database and the structure of the database were determined on the basis of previously developed criteria and methods of reducing the labor intensiveness of the computational-experimental evaluation of the seismic resistance of the equipment in NPPs. The database can be used to systematize and colligate the results of computational-experimental examinations and to evaluate the seismic resistance of equipment by indirect methods.
