If you are interested in participating in the following standards, complete and submit the Standards Volunteer Form.
ANS-2.3-1983, Standard for Estimating Tornado and Extreme Wind Characteristics at Nuclear Power Sites
Wanted: Working Group Chair and working group members
Scope: The purpose of this standard is to specify guidelines to determine the wind velocity, atmospheric pressure change, missile type, size and velocity that result from tornadoes, hurricanes and other extreme winds to be used in nuclear facility design.  The standard does not treat forces that result from these natural events.

ANS-2.8-1992, Standard for Determining Design Basis Flooding at Power Reactor Sites
Wanted: Working Group Chair
Scope: This document presents criteria to establish design basis flooding for nuclear safety-related features at power reactor sites. Methodology is described to evaluate the flood having virtually no risk of exceedance that can be caused by precipitation and snowmelt and any resulting dam failures; seismically induced dam failures; surge or seiche and attendant wind-generated wave activity; or a reasonable combination of these events.

ANS-2.11-1978; R1989, Guidelines for the Retrieval, Review, Processing and Evaluation of Records Obtained from Seismic Instrumentation
Wanted: Working Group Chair
Scope: This standard presents guidelines for evaluating site-related geotechnical parameters for nuclear power sites. Aspects considered include geology, ground water, foundation engineering, and earthwork engineering. These guidelines identify the basic geotechnical parameters to be considered in site evaluation, and in the design, construction, and performance of foundations and earthwork aspects for nuclear power plants. Also included are tabulations of typical field and laboratory investigative methods useful in identifying geotechnical parameters. Those areas where interrelationships with other standards may exist are indicated.
