The performance-based design response spectrum (PB-DRS) is perceived as the requisite of performance-based design of structures, systems, and components of nuclear facilities. In view of such requirement, this study evaluates PB-DRS carriers for a Peninsular Indian site. A probablistic seismic hazard analysis with multi-expert participation is deloyed to obtain seismic hazard results. Furthermore, PB-DRS from the uniform hazard response spectrum, regulatory guide 1.208, and ASCE 43-05 are respectively used to further evaluate and compare. The results reveal that PB-DRS from the uniform hazard response spectrum and regulatory guide 1.208 can be used for the performance-based seismic design, e.g., reactor buildings. Meanwhile, PB-DRS from ASCE 43-05 can be used for floor-molding components such as steam generators.
