La veille de la cybersécurité

The world has averted the climate crisis thanks to finally adopting nuclear power for the majority of power generation. Conventional wisdom is now that nuclear power plants are a problem of complexity; Three Mile Island is now a punchline rather than a disaster. Fears around nuclear waste and plant blowups have been alleviated primarily through better software automation. What we didn't know is that the software for all nuclear power plants, made by a few different vendors around the world, all share the same bias. After two decades of flawless operation, several unrelated plants all fail in the same year.
