Safety systems face millennium shutdown

There is a 50%-80% chance that all sophisticated,
safety-related control systems will fail in the year 2000,
damning research from the Health and Safety Executive has
revealed. The report, Safety and the year 2000, found that even
the most simple safety systems have a 5% chance of failing
because of the millennium.

Systems most at risk include those which control the sensors
that detect fire or gas leaks in big production plants. Many
engineering and manufacturing companies depend on these
systems, and whole processes may be at risk, the report
warned.
