ABSTRACT

Under the new regulatory requirements for nuclear power plants in Japan, which were enacted in response to the   nuclear accident associated with the Great East Japan Earthquake Tsunami that occurred on 11 March 2011, it is a requirement to establish a site-specific “standard tsunami” based on numerical analysis considering non-seismic factors in addition to general seismic faults. It is necessary to establish a consistent evaluation scheme for estimation of tsunami height induced by submarine landslide, since a standard framework for evaluation has not yet been established even though several models for calculation have been proposed and applied in practice. In this study, we estimated the scale of submarine landslide from a literature survey and showed examples of tsunami height evaluation using multiple schemes. As a result of evaluation of tsunami height using three schemes, the Watts model, the KLS model, and the modified-KLS model, the result obtained by the KLS model was comparatively large for every case.

KEYWORDS
