German term or phrase: Redundante
Die Zulässigkeit der Fortsetzung des Leistungsbetriebs bei Abweichungen in den Sicherheitseinrichtungen von den spezifizierten Vorgaben ist im BHB geregelt.

Die Sicherheitsspezifikation des BHB (Teil 2, Kap. 1.3-4.1.1) macht dazu folgende Vorgabe:

Eine Redundante gilt als ausgefallen, wenn eine Nichtverfügbarkeit an
- maschinentechnischen Komponenten,
- der Energieversorgung,
- der Hilfssysteme oder
- der Steuerung
derart festgestellt wird, dass die Funktion einer Redundanten im Anforderungsfalle nicht gegeben ist.

Bei alleinigem Bezug auf die im BHB vorgegebene Borkonzentration sind am 27.08.2001 drei Teilsysteme als ausgefallen zu betrachten. In Bezug auf die tatsächlich erforderliche Wirksamkeit (Funktion im Anforderungsfall) wäre kein Ausfall eines Teilsystems anzusetzen gewesen. Das Anlagenpersonal hat offensichtlich die betroffenen Flutbehälter (Teilsysteme) in ihrer Systemfunktion als „nicht ausgefallen“ betrachtet.

The BHB is the operating manual.

I don't know who you are (and you've got a lot of languages there buddy) but thanks for the answer! I really did not want to use 'redundant system', whatever that is.

redundant (system/component)


Explanation:
"Eine Redundante ist ein Systembestandteil (z.B. Komponente, Teilsystem, Strang), der gleichwertig mit anderen Systembestandteilen die gleichen Funktionen erfüllen und der bei Bedarf einen dieser anderen Systembestandteile voll ersetzen oder durch diesen ersetzt werden kann."

"A redundant is a part of a system (e. g. component, subsystem, train) which is equivalent to other parts of the system which fulfill the same functions and which, if needed, can completely replace, or be replaced by, one of these other parts of the system."

agree  Chris Rowson (X): Yes, but it must have system or component. "A redundant" as in the reference is German English.

  -> Sure, I was wondering myself. On the other hand, "eine Redundante" is no less bizarre, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that "a redundant" is used in those monsters called power plant operating procedures.
agree  Steffen Walter: also with Chris and your response - it's sometimes more than strange, this engineer-speak (and this applies to both German and English, and beyond)

emergency or backup systems


Explanation:
Redundancy is very important in nuclear power operation because for safety and operational reasons (efficiency) you don't want your system to be shut down.
