How this risk is described and categorized.
"General-purpose AI deployed for reactor monitoring, control system optimization, or emergency response coordination could misinterpret sensor data, fail to recognize critical safety conditions, or make erroneous control decisions during emergency scenarios. Given the catastrophic potential of nuclear accidents, even minor AI reasoning errors in safety-critical functions could lead to core meltdowns, radiation releases, or widespread contamination affecting hundreds of thousands of people across international borders."
