Generally, a concrete crack near an equipment hatch causes containment functional failure and when pre-stressed tendons begin to yield, the containment structure would not continue to maintain its integrity.
However, a technical problem has meant the cap had to be removed for a short time and tropical storms or hurricanes could also cause the containment to be paused.
In retrospect, if more drastic measures had been implemented on March 15 (when SARS was recognized as the outbreak's cause), the containment of SARS infection in TTSH and Singapore could have been accelerated.
However, a two-day delay in reporting the infection causes the containment strategy to be much less effective and three days of reporting delay substantially reduce the effectiveness of the containment strategy.
The blasts, they said, probably caused breaches in containment vessels that are among the final layers of protection against meltdowns and even larger releases of radioactive materials.
However, it is crucial to determine the accurate impact region when the purpose of investigation is to study local damage of containment caused by different parts of aircrafts.
Generally, formal containment explains cause and effect sequences amongst similar causes and effects.
However, the reduction of complexity may cause degradation in spectral containment if the coding rate is kept unchanged (an example will be discussed in the next subsection).
Despite the best efforts of the reactor operators and emergency responders, rising temperatures within each reactor's core eventually caused a partial meltdown of the fuel rods, a fire in the storage reactor, explosions in the outer containment buildings (caused by a buildup of hydrogen gas), the release of radioactive steam into the air, and the leakage of radioactive water into the ocean.
The other uses finite element analyses to calculate the stresses and displacements of the SG, piping, and containment building caused by the jet impingement loads.
