Primes¶
- Swiss Cheese Model (Layered Defense with Aligning Holes)
- In industrial process safety, defense-in-depth design at chemical and nuclear plants is read through independent safety systems whose holes catastrophically aligned.
This sourceDefense-in-depth design with multiple independent safety levels whose simultaneous failure (aligned holes) is required for catastrophe.

Domain-specific¶
Mechanisms¶
- Barrier Interposition
- Its central failure is that a single barrier fails silently and completely when breached — a torn membrane, an unsealed penetration, a corroded seam — and over-trust in one barrier is the classic error.
This sourceUses consecutive independent levels of protection so a later barrier remains available if an earlier one fails.

- Risk Safeguard Design
- The design philosophy it draws on is defense in depth
This sourceINSAG-10. International Atomic Energy Agency (1996). Defines defence in depth as multiple independent layers so no single technical or human failure defeats protection.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
