AbstractThe report discusses the use of software to control nuclear power plants as a method of increasing safety as compared to other safety methods. The report references Duke's energy Oconee nuclear power plant that was established in 1973. The company has undergone several changes and modifications in a bid to try and address its standards in terms of safety. The use of software to control the nuclear plant was meant to replace the older and analogue control systemsthat were not working correctly. Also, the case references a minor control failure that happened in the 1990s necessitating a partial change in how control systems are used. In the incident, there were no employees who suffered any injuries, and no radiation leaked out of the power plant. The digital control system was added to various parts of the control system to deal with the most critical hitches, but it remained absolutely clear that Oconee’s entire control system needed a replacement.
