Abstract

We start this chapter with a case history from Lao PDR (Anecdote 4.1) which illustrate how adverse conditions, but not necessarily divergent hazards, may lead to failure. The example also shows in its closing point why many countries have adopted the concepts of ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable).
