Among the task force's recommendations is the re-evaluation of the regulatory balance between what is known as "defense-in-depth" the old rulebook approach to regulations and the "risk-informed" approach, in the aftermath of events at Fukushima in March. ❋ The Center For Public Integrity (2011)
Before the transition to probabilistic risk assessment, the NRC relied on a safety strategy called "defense-in-depth," a rulebook approach to designing and operating nuclear facilities that sets out detailed design and performance blueprints. ❋ The Center For Public Integrity (2011)
The IAEA said it also found "insufficient defense-in-depth provisions for tsunami hazards" as per the recommendations of a review conducted by an IAEA-led team of experts in 2002. ❋ David Crawford (2011)
The NRC plans to incorporate the findings in its long-term review of possible changes in licensing and safety rules, including a review of "defense-in-depth" versus "risk-informed" safety standards, approach, according to the NRC's Burnell. ❋ The Center For Public Integrity (2011)
The idea of safety through redundancy -- engineers also call it "resilience" or "defense-in-depth" -- is familiar to anyone who has walked past an airliner's cockpit. ❋ Unknown (2010)
To achieve optimum safety, nuclear power plants in the western world operate using a 'defense-in-depth' approach, with multiple safety systems supplementing the natural features of the reactor core. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Or are you thinking defense-in-depth, strategic retreat until...well, until what? ❋ Unknown (2009)

He is arguably the most superstitious Presidential candidate of recent times, relying on a defense-in-depth strategy when it comes to lucky charms. ❋ Sean (2008)
And the Japanese developed — perhaps independently — fortresses similar to the trace italienne, using defense-in-depth principles. 54 European cannon were superior to East Asian cannon, but European designs were swiftly adopted, and Portuguese and Dutch smiths were often willing to lend or sell their skills. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The airhead is small enough for a battalion to defend yet large enough to permit defense-in-depth and maneuver of reserves to counter enemy attacks. ❋ United States Army (1987)
Beginning with Peleliu, the Japanese would rely on a defense-in-depth strategy, luring the Americans toward their strong points and inflicting horrible casualties from positions that neither naval or air bombardment could reach. ❋ Donald L. Miller (1945)
It was also a foretaste of what they would confront on their next landing, where the Japanese would employ the defense-in-depth tactics of Peleliu and Iwo Jima with even more appalling effectiveness. ❋ Donald L. Miller (1945)
Where Tripoli Street runs through the neighborhood of Beera, for example, the men have hidden themselves in concrete buildings against the shelling and formed a defense-in-depth, with knots of fighters in the street's storefronts supported by others many blocks back. ❋ By C. J. CHIVERS (2011)
The fact that in a cloud computing environment most assets can be virtualized results in shifts in the analysis of risk and how to apply security controls to the traditional defense-in-depth layers physical, network, data, identity access, access authorization and authentication, and host. ❋ Rajesh Makhija (2011)
