Japan is so said an energy consumption country of the fourth place world, but the energy resources such as petroleum, the natural gas are poor and depend on import for the most, and stable supply becomes a big problem. For the greenhouse gas restraint, the promotion of the energy saving is featured. A nuclear power plant for commerce in Japan has been started in 1966. The supply occupies about 30 percent of the now Japanese electricity generating. Due to the nature of Japan, earthquake proof is an important subject for social infrastructure operation. To encourage its proofing, many approaches have been applied into many infrastructures, not only computational approach. A computational science approach for earthquake proof is suggested with FIESTA(Finite Element Structural analysis for Assembly), a large scale simulation. A methodology is discussed from the point of view of impact and blast loadings. Examples of loadings in the nuclear engineering are introduced.
