Nuclear power plant software is extremely safety critical.
There are a number of required processes for creating software for
nuclear power plants. 

I would want a language that best supports safety critical software
development processes for the parts that actually control the operation
of the power plant. Almost anything can be used for the administrative
tasks such as employee records and trivial financial tracking. 

For the truly safety critical parts I would choose Spark.
