This paper discusses the regulatory requirement of flood analysis as part of the licensing procedure of nuclear power plants. Flood analyses for three nuclear power stations which are representative of the coastal, estuarine, and inland sites are presented. The flood analyses include combinations of events, methodology, and results. Finally, the paper discusses the need for further research to balance the safety and economic goals of nuclear power plants.
