15.9. The door lock control mechanism in a nuclear waste storage facility is designed for safe operation.

Question:

15.9. The door lock control mechanism in a nuclear waste storage facility is designed for safe operation. It ensures that entry to the storeroom is only permitted when radiation shields are in place or when the radiation level in the room falls below some given value

(dangerLevel). So:

i. If remotely controlled radiation shields are in place within a room, an authorized operator may open the door.

ii. If the radiation level in a room is below a specified value, an authorized operator may open the door.

iii. An authorized operator is identified by the input of an authorized door entry code.

The code shown in Figure 15.12 (see below) controls the door-locking mechanism. Note that the safe state is that entry should not be permitted. Using the approach discussed in section 15.5.2, develop a safety argument for this code. Use the line numbers to refer to specific statements. If you find that the code is unsafe, suggest how it should be modified to make it safe.
