Defense in depth includes the use of multiple barriers against any escape of radioactivity from nuclear plants. The first such barrier around the nuclear fuel is the cladding which contains not only the fuel pellets but also the fission products which are generated along with the useful heat from the fission process. -Other barriers to escape of radioactivity include the primary reactor system and the containment building surrounding the reactor.
