Since earthquake surely takes place in Japan, safety on nuclear power plant (NPP) against earthquake is one of the most important issue. In April 2016, a research council of "Basic Safety Principles on Earthquake Engineering for Nuclear Power Plants" was established in Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering (JAEE) to clarify a basic concept and a practice of the safety principles among a mature discussion by engineers in a wide range of nuclear safety and earthquake engineering fields. In the present report, the summery of the basic safety principles is introduced and a sufficient exchange of views will be conducted through the session.
