The Reactor Hazards Research Program is a Geological Survey program directed at expediting the safe siting and design of power reactors in the United States through topical and regional work on major geological hazards, particularly faulting, earthquake shaking, volcanism, and gross failure of foundation materials (table 1). It is complimentary to the more directed research sponsored by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on problems raised by license applications, and is coordinated with that and with other Survey programs that deal with geological hazards.
