Further on the assessment of potential accidents, the Commission questioned whether the containment structure was adequate to contain the worst possible event. McMaster University explained that the building was designed to withstand an extremely low-probability event producing 60 pounds of steam (or an increase in pressure in the containment of 1/2 psi). The Commission questioned McMaster University on the nature of the accident scenarios used in the revised safety analysis. McMaster University responded that it looked at a number of events considered at other small Canadian research reactors, but concentrated on a very low probability event (10-6) that involves a blockage of cooling water flow through the core that leads to fuel damage. 1, record 1, English, - extremely%20low%2Dprobability%20event

Toujours au sujet de l'évaluation des accidents éventuels, la Commission a demandé si l'enceinte de confinement était adéquate pour contenir le pire événement. L'Université McMaster a expliqué que le bâtiment a été conçu pour résister à un événement à très faible probabilité produisant 60 livres de vapeur (ou une augmentation de la pression dans l'enceinte de confinement de 0,5 lb/po²). 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9v%C3%A9nement%20%C3%A0%20tr%C3%A8s%20faible%20probabilit%C3%A9
