Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Japan, the nuclear-plant facilities and LNG tanks have built in coastal area. The encounter rate of tornadoes on these kinds of facilities is higher than the rate in Middle part of United States. In this study, the guidelines on countermeasure, design, and construction of the facility such as nuclear power plants, huge-scaled LNG storage installations, nuclear fuel reprocessing plants, and hazardous industrial wastes when the damage occurred on these facilities due to the sever local storm were examined.
