- The load-bearing condition is independence: if the barriers fail for unrelated reasons, the probability of total release is the product \(\prod_i p_i\), so five layers each with a 1-in-100 failure chance give a 1-in-\(10^{10}\) joint breach — gains compound multiplicatively.
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.
