Because the probable maximum events selected in FSAR for nuclear plants may not be the maximum possible events, they could possibly be exceeded by more severe events in the future. As such, there is a need to re-evaluate the other external hazards, especially those associated with the natural phenomena. To ensure that the maximum possible intensities of the natural phenomenon hazards are identi...

Communities worldwide are increasingly affected by natural hazards such as floods, droughts, wildfires and storm-waves. However, the causes of these increases remain underexplored, often attributed to climate changes or changes in the patterns of human exposure. This paper aims to quantify the effect of climate change, as well as land cover change, on a suite of natural hazards. Changes to four...
