This guide presents techniques for determining the design basis flood (DBF) to be used for siting nuclear power plants at or near non-tidal reaches of rivers and for the protection of nuclear power plants against floods. Both natural floods and those due to dam failures are discussed. Flooding could have repercussions on safety; consequently the DBF has to be chosen to have a very low probability of exceedance per annum. Two types of methods (probabilistic and deterministic) are discussed.

In Perpetual Motion: Travel Behaviour Research Opportunities and Application Challenges
Travel behaviour interacts in a deep way with how we work and play. Social, intellectual, economic and technological forces continually influence the spatial and temporal activity patterns of individuals and businesses. Developments in the production, dissemination, and consumption of information have important implications for how we use our time, and how we pursue the various work, sustenance and leisure activities of our daily existence. This book provides an authoritative assessment of the state-of-the-art in travel behaviour research and applications, and identifies the principal emerging trends, challenges and opportunities in this important area of transportation research.
