The need to gain a better understanding of the risks associated with the operation of increasingly complex nuclear facilities can be satisfied in large measure by the use of the fault tree technique. This technique provides a powerful tool for the presentation, in a precise and logical manner, of the possible ways in which a system can fail. It also permits thorough examination of the design of a facility to identify links between systems whose malfunction could result in a release of radioactive material to the environment, and those systems which are designed to prevent or mitigate the effects of such failures. 2, record 1, English, - fault%20tree%20technique

La technique de l'arbre de défaillances est une méthode qui permet de mieux comprendre, dans une large mesure, les risques qui accompagnent l'exploitation des installations nucléaires sans cesse plus complexes. Grâce à cette technique, on peut présenter de façon précise et logique les diverses possibilités de défaillances d'un système. Cet arbre permet également d'examiner la conception d'une installation afin d'identifier les relations entre les systèmes dont la défaillance peut entraîner le rejet des matières radioactives dans l'environnement et les systèmes qui sont conçus pour prévenir ou atténuer les effets de telles défaillances. 2, record 1, French, - technique%20de%20l%27arbre%20de%20d%C3%A9faillances
