Horizon Nuclear Power are planning a new build nuclear power station. Since 2010 there have been six significant ground investigations for Wylfa Newydd, where approximately 450 boreholes have been drilled producing around 18,000m of rock core.

The first part of the presentation will focus on the most recent detailed onshore and offshore investigations which were carried out in 2014 and 2016 respectively,
discussing the local geology, the drilling, logging and testing, including how and why a site-specific rock mass classification scheme was developed as part of the geotechnical engineering design.

The second part of the presentation will focus on the engineering seismology aspects of the site and discuss the Probabilistic Site Hazard Assessment involved for a nuclear new build site.
