For what it's worth, I work at a nuke and this issue is not that big a deal here for one very good reason. we don't trust conputers, the plants are not automated. We have real people running things( thank God). We will be replacing some computers that have been in need of replacing for some time, for instance the security computer that reads keycards and decides to let you into a room. There are some controllers that operate in "automatic" mode but do not have any functions associated with the date or time, they simply monitor an input and provide an output as necessary to control a process. Our company does have a millenium site on the intranet for poeple to post ideas and concerns regarding the issue, but I do not know what exactly they are doing about it. I posted a question there regarding embedded systems and mentioned TPRO. The reply was that they were aware of embedded systems and were developing a strategy. I believe the NRC has told companies to take this serious and will probably start turning up the heat in the near future. A typical response would be "Prove to us you don't have a problem, or you will shut down by 01/01/2000."
