Containment systems for nuclear power reactors are distinguished by size, shape, materials used, and suppression systems. The kind of containment used is determined by the type of reactor, generation of the reactor, and the specific plant needs. Suppression systems are critical to safety analysis and greatly affect the size of containment.

Secondary spill containment is the containment of hazardous liquids in order to prevent pollution of soil and water. Common techniques include the use of spill berms to contain oil -filled equipment, fuel tanks , truck washing decks, or any other places or items that may leak hazardous liquids.
The BOP used in the Deepwater Horizon, for example, had five "rams" and two "annular" blowout preventers. [15] The rams were of two types: "pipe rams" and "shear rams". If the drill pipe is in the well, the pipe rams slide perpendicular to the pipe, closing around it to form a tight seal.
These should include means to monitor temperature, volume and pressure, as well as pressure relief valves and associated safety systems in accordance with the IGC Code. [12] A cargo containment system is the total arrangement for containing cargo including, where fitted: A primary barrier (the cargo tank), Secondary barrier (if fitted),
Spill containment is where spills of chemicals, oils, sewage etc. are contained within a barrier or drainage system rather than being absorbed at the surface. One method is to use an inflatable stopper or pneumatic bladder which is inserted into the outflow of a drainage system to create a containment vessel.
Shipping container architecture is a form of architecture that uses steel intermodal containers (shipping containers) as the main structural element.It is also referred to as cargotecture or arkitainer, portmanteau words formed from "cargo" and "architecture".
