Primes¶
- Defense In Depth
- The barriers in series are the fuel cladding, the primary cooling system, the reactor pressure vessel, the containment building, and the emergency siting/exclusion zone — each with a non-trivial per-attempt failure probability \(p_i\).
This sourceINSAG-12 (75-INSAG-3, Rev. 1). Vienna: IAEA, 1999. Defines the defense-in-depth principle for reactor safety — successive independent physical barriers (cladding, coolant, vessel, containment, siting) against radioactive release.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
INSAG-12 names fuel cladding, primary coolant boundary and confinement as successive barriers, but not a reactor pressure vessel or siting/exclusion zone barrier, nor per-barrier failure probabilities.
“The first three physical barriers are the fuel matrix, the fuel cladding and the boundary of the primary coolant system.”
- The barriers in series are the fuel cladding, the primary cooling system, the reactor pressure vessel, the containment building, and the emergency siting/exclusion zone — each with a non-trivial per-attempt failure probability \(p_i\).
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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
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.
