The NIF contains a large number of optics that also act as vacuum barriers. These are subject to brittle failures that may result in significant consequences. This Fracture Control Plan identifies the requirements, needed documentation, and required actions for minimizing the potential for brittle failures of these fracture-critical components in the NIF laser system. The goal of this plan is to ensure that all fracture-critical systems present no more than a low level of risk. Risk considers both consequences (to workers, the environment, and public confidence) and probability of failure. This plan interprets and implements the guidance contained in the ME Design Safety Standard, Section 5.4, 'Design Safety Standards for Fracture Critical Components for High Power Laser Systems.' NTIS
