Abstract :
Software fault injection has recently started showing great promise as a means for measuring the safety of software programs. This paper shows the results from applying one method for implementing software fault injection, data state error corruption, to the Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio (DNBR) code, a research code from the Halden Reactor Project, located in Halden Norway
