Abstract
One of the primary reasons for the current "decline" of nuclear power is that reactors have not operated reliably. This unreliability has raised questions of both safety and economics. Computer systems have been a part of this failure of technology. If nuclear power is to be revived as an energy option for our country, both the quantity and quality of computer applications must increase.
