An accident sequence is taken to mean a series of events resulting from one or more initiating events (the failure of one or more components or functions, or human error) and which put the facility into a degraded situation with the possibility of radiological consequences, despite the engineered safety systems and mitigation devices installed in it. Safety analyses are performed to study these sequences and the counter-measures to be taken, mainly by using a standard incident and accident list taken into consideration at the facility design stage.  1, record 1, English, - degraded%20situation
