Unlike most posters here, I have actually been a Reactor Operator, albeit many years ago. Yes, you want any questionable signal from primary systems to initiate a scram. But I question why any primary system was connected to or using data from such a questionable source. In my experience, all such sources were hard cards - no software involved. Obviously "modern" plants have become too modern for my tastes.
For those who wonder what a scram is - it's from the early early tests where the rods were actually pulled by a human tugging a rope attached to a pulley. Once pulled, the rope was tied off, and he stood buy with an axe. If the pooh hit the rotating blades, he chopped the rope. Super-Critical Reactor Axe Man = SCRAM.
