This work deals with a description of the methodology for the definition of the design earthquake and associated topics for Nuclear Power Plants (NPPS) and applied it on high risk industrial facilities in Egypt. New Probabilistic strong ground motion maps at Delta and Upper Egypt are derived by applying the "Cornell-McGuire" method to 27 earthquake source zones in the Nile Delta area and Upper Egypt. The design basis of earthquakes is estimated for Egypt. A comparison of the results of design basis earthquakes (operation basis earthquakes and safe shutdown earthquakes) with equivalent estimates made in International atomic Energy Authority ( IAEA) , Italy, USSR, USA, Japan and Germany.
