These sequences are in general represented by event trees, also called accident sequence diagrams. Several examples of event trees are shown in Figs. 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5. Releases of materials under pressure can additionally be accompanied by missile flight of fragments of the pressure boundary (e.g. vessels or pipework). If a gas is not flammable but toxic atmospheric dispersion follows its release. This is also true in cases of delayed ignition.

Comparison of the results suggests that the resistance of air should not be neglected when treating missile flight. 

Employees are present at the reactor during 10 % of the time of the year (Pb = 0.1). They then move at a distance of less than 5 m around the reactor. The calculations along the lines of Example 10.23 show that in such case the probability of death is Pdeath = 1, if an explosion occurs, even when neglecting missile flight. The company internal safety target for the individual risk of death is Ri < lO " ...
