Total loss of containment, sir," the voice said over the sound of weapons fire. "

During 1998, we were tested by a number of loss of containment incidents.

They think they might be able to slow the loss of containment, but it will fail completely.

But in oil pipelines where water is present hydrates may form; they can block the flow and cause massive loss of containment.

The purpose is to prevent 'loss of containment' of volatile liquids and gases.

The result: "the Mark I is still a little more susceptible to an accident that would result in a loss of containment".

Identification and management of all hazards in manufacturing to prevent loss of containment or of operational control.

The only accident scenarios associated with the onshore pipeline posing any threat to safety or environmental quality are accidental losses of containment.

When sashes are opened, the exhaust may not immediately increase to the required level, resulting in a temporarily low face velocity and possible loss of containment.

Special circumstances or alternatives that would prevent a leak or loss of containment towards explosives or AN will be considered.

In order to represent the range of potential release sizes, losses of containment have been characterized as leaks (very small hole), holes, or ruptures.

The Type C package is intended to withstand severe accidents throughout air transport without the loss of containment or a dangerous increase in external radiation levels.

Disruptive events scenarios postulate the occurrence of low- probability events leading to the possible abnormal degradation and loss of containment.

A general emergency involves actual or imminent substantial core damage or melting of reactor fuel with the potential for loss of containment integrity.

Tanaka noticed that the yellow-suited men's full-face helmets were connected to air bottles on their backs, precautions in case of a plutonium loss of containment.

Losses of containment have been characterized as leaks (very small hole), holes, or ruptures. The likelihood of each of these is as follows:

The risk of a total loss of containment is reduced if there are two independent isolations as it is highly improbable they would both fail at the same time.

In the chaos that follows, Rourke, the head of Volks' military department, orders the computer operator to fire a "catalyst beam" at the machine, despite their loss of containment.

Unforeseen events leading to loss of containment, loss of water cover, contaminant dispersion or other unacceptable consequences will require immediate response in order to maintain environmental security and public confidence.

This means that in the event of loss of containment at surface, there is more fluid to be spilled causing environmental damage, or in the worst case, more fuel for a fire.

"It will cost lives and it will cost production, it will cost money, cause fires and cause loss of containment, environmental damage -- huge, huge damage."

One major limitation of QRA in the safety field is that it is focussed primarily on the loss of containment of hazardous fluids and what happens when they are released.

He argues that "loss of containment" rates on major hazard sites give a good indication of how well the major accident risks are managed; UK studies show no significant correlation with "lost time accident" rates.

The HIPPS will shut off the source of the high pressure before the design pressure of the system is exceeded, thus preventing loss of containment through rupture (explosion) of a line or vessel.

The plant has been designed to prevent major loss of containment in the event of an earthquake and to ensure the structural integrity of critical elements such as emergency shut down valves and the control room of the plant.
