The research committee on "Basic Safety Principles on Earthquake Engineering" was established in Japan Association for Earthquake Engineering (JAEE) to propose the basic safety principles on earthquake engineering for nuclear power plants (NPPs) based on defense in depth and also risk concept. In the committee, three working groups were also established. In working group 1 (WG1), which was parallel established as a subcommittee of "Basic Safety Principles on Earthquake Engineering" in Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ), the contents of the basic safety principles on earthquake engineering has been discussed and the material for discussion has been summarized. This paper summarizes the basic principles and points of contention through the discussion.
