Java In Nuclear Reactors?

This is pretty funny (or scary)

I always thought this excerpt from the Java license was odd:

"not designed or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility."

So it made me do a double-take when I read this:

Sun Solaris Grid Powers Next Generation Nuclear Reactor Design from the Department of Energy

from the article:

"The solution includes more than 230 Sun Solaris Servers powered by AMD  Opteron processors; and, more than 12 Terabytes of Sun StorEdge 6320 storage, the Solaris 9 operating system, Java Enterprise System and Java development software"

I guess the DOE likes to keep things exciting :)
