Question:

Nuclear Reactor Reliability Remote sensors are used to control each of two separate and independent valves, denoted by p and q, that open to provide water for emergency cooling of a nuclear reactor. Each valve has a 0.9968 probability of opening when triggered. For the given configuration, find the probability that when both sensors are triggered, water will get through the system so that cooling can occur. Is the result high enough to be considered safe?
