Record 2 - external organization data 2007-11-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

If a station's response to leaks was reliably quick; detecting leaks before their rate exceeded the make-up capacity, then LBB [leak-before-break] could be credited as another element of defence-in-depth.

Key term(s)
  • leak before break

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Si l'intervention en cas de fuite dans une centrale était rapide, la détection des fuites avant qu'elles n'atteignent le taux dépassant la capacité d'appoint permettrait de créditer la FAR [fuite avant rupture] comme étant un autre élément de défense en profondeur.
