For ensuring the seismic safety of nuclear facilities there is very important to know not only the size of earthquakes or other induced seismic phenomena in the foci, but also the attenuation of seismic energy with a distance in order that it was possible to determine destructive potential of phenomena in a given site for nuclear facility. The paper presents relationships for seismic energy drop with a distance derived from macroseismic and instrumental data.
