According to the US press, the reactors in New York State and other areas
had to be shut down because there was a risk of an incident if the auxiliary
power from the rest of the grid was lost. This approach to hazard analysis
should be named Fail-For-Sure.
Since France and other countries obtain much of their power from nuclear
reactors, it is worthwhile to inquire what if anything they have done to
eliminate Fail-For-Sure? And obviously, does the use of Ada help in
eliminating Fail-For-Sure?
