computerworld -- Connecticut senator seeks answers on Y2K readiness of Millstone nuclear power plant computerworld.com U.S. Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) today asked Northeast Utilities and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to provide him with specific information on the measures they've taken to ensure that Northeast's Millstone nuclear power pant in Connecticut is ready for the year 2000 date change. [...] Terrence McIntosh, a spokesman for Northeast Utilities, said Millstone is Y2K-ready and that the utility had sent out press release to various media outlets to alert them to that fact. He added that the postponed drill had nothing to do with Y2K -- although the utility has conducted Y2K preparedness drills at Millstone -- but was a regularly scheduled emergency drill. "Sen. Dodd is responding to his constituents. But here we have some antinuclear groups whose agendas are to shut down the plant," McIntosh said. "Millstone has been Y2K-ready since June 30, 1999. We have participated in several Y2K-specific drills.The NRC asked some utilities to postpone their regularly scheduled emergency drills because it did not have enough staff to monitor all the drills."
