OSTI ID:1070
Many industries transmit large amounts of energy under the control of safety critical systems, inadvertent release of energy by such systems can result in negative high consequences. Thirpaper describes aprincipie-ba.re dstrategyfor preventing inadvertent release due [O normai operational stresses or abnormal (e.g., accident) stresses. The sajetyprin- ciples, deveioped by Sandia )?a~ional Laboratories for im- bedding detonation safety in nuclear weapons, include iso- [atio~ inoperabilip and incompatibility. There principles will be defined in the paper. They are illustrated and con- trasted to conventionalpractice via the application to a gas jiunace control system.
