1. A system comprising a pressure accommodating assembly including:
a body having a first side and a second side;
a gas permeable membrane coupled to the body and configured to allow gases to permeate therethrough to thereby move from the first side to the second side; and
a pressure relief valve coupled to the body, wherein the pressure relief valve is biased to a closed position to generally block a flow of gases therethrough and is configured to move to an open position when there is a predetermined pressure differential thereacross to allow gases to flow therethrough to move from the first side to the second side, wherein the pressure accommodating assembly is configured to maintain its structural integrity after being exposed to a temperature of about 500° C for at least one second.
