以计算机为基础的系统,广泛应用于放射性废物管理中,例如在设施运行和数据处理中。Y2K问题的潜在严重性和影响范围,为确保采取措施始终保持安全运行提出了挑战。以计算机为基础的系统的故障问题,通常用一般的安全方法,如提供多样性和冗余性加以处理。依靠这种方法不太可能解决Y2K问题,因为为了预防故障而可能已经安装的备份系统也有 Computer-based systems are widely used in radioactive waste management, for example in the operation of facilities and data processing. The potential severity and extent of the Y2K problem posed a challenge to ensure that measures were always kept safe. Problems with computer-based systems are usually handled by common security methods, such as providing diversity and redundancy. Relying on this approach is unlikely to solve Y2K problems, because backup systems that may already be installed in order to prevent failures also have
