Energy Systems — Irreversible Safety-by-Design Storage

Fixed Irreversible Condition

Once deployed, the system must remain non-catastrophic without safety-critical intervention.

Target Scale

Years30–100+ years
Generations1–3 generations
CapitalInfrastructure-grade locked capital

Reality Connection

What is fixed now

  • Abandonment structurally disallowed.
  • Passive safety dominates design.
  • Geological custody assumptions fixed.

Evidence artifacts

  • System concept note
  • Failure mode elimination map
  • Custody lifecycle plan

Phase gates

Concept
  • Define forbidden outcomes.
  • Map passive safety boundaries.
  • Specify custody horizon.
Prototype
  • Demonstrate bounded failure.
  • Validate containment.
  • Stress-test degradation.
Deployment
  • Custody & decommission locked.
  • Monitoring becomes confirmatory.
  • Intergenerational accountability assigned.
