In order to clarify the influence of the difference of modeling method on the variation of the result of seismic response analysis of nuclear facility, seismic response analysis using various simulated input ground motions was carried out and the sensitivity analyses of the variations in seismic response was conducted. In particular, we focused on the maximum acceleration response of reactor building shear walls, the effect of modeling method on response result and the factors of response variation were described and discussed.
