Abstract
The Kola Peninsula and Karelia are characterized by very weak modern seismicity, but there are traces of numerous paleoearthquakes with an intensity of up to 9–10 points. Allowance for these can significantly change the current seismic hazard assessments for this territory. The article discusses related problems when assessing seismic hazard in regard to nuclear and radiation hazardous facilities in the region.
