Y2K Newsgroup Alert: Nuclear Power Plant

"Ran into one of my old nuke buddies who's the Y2K honcho for the local 3 plant nuclear facility. Better than 3000 megawatts of big honkin' power producers. Naturally, the conversation gravitated to Y2K.

The folks running the Y2K effort at this particular nuke facility are in a stage 5 panic. They haven't even finished inventorying their software yet. Risk assessment? Ha! Embedded controls? Ha! I laugh in your general direction. They don't have an inkling of a clue (that's the pre-clueless stage) as to how to approach the embedded controls issue. They can get absolutely no upper level management support or funding.

I live 20 miles from this place, and am starting to think that waiting to sell my property in 1999 is going to be like trying to sell swampland in Florida. I need to have a heart-to-heart chat with the wife this weekend."
