A comparison is made of the dynamic response of a typical nuclear power plant to a modest earthquake (Parkfield) and to the impact of a small military aircraft (MRCA) and a large civil aircraft (Boeing 707-320). Finite element and modal supcrposition techniques are used to obtain the time-history re
