B'ub, no back up electric generators for operating the plutonium rod lifts to prevent core meltdown in event of y2k power disruption You make me laugh. Can you not read and understand, or are you too busy constructing your offensive and attacking posts. You challenged me to do some research and respond to your questions about the nuclear plants. I did, and explained that the dampening rods were held above the core via electromagnets. In the event of a power failure, the electromagnets would not continue to hold the rods, and they drop shutting down the reactor. You do not need backup electric generators to lift the rods. LOL P.S. I also responded previously to your question about leap years, and also gave you some good advice about setting your VCR date to 1972 for which you thanked me. I don't think you know enough about any of these issues to bother carrying on an intelligent conversation with you. J'm

Message 11620487 if this is not a display of eliteist arrogance, then you better ship me a new dictionary. you're going over the falls as well. and being the one to say i told you so at your watery graveside is not an event that brings joy to this old man's heart! Message 12719830 i have, no make that HAD a cousin who's an architect. He's one of those missing wreckage types and it has only been 3 years. they never have found his wreckage. to know the horror of two missing persons, (him and his client passenger), his penniless wife, the tied up in knots firm with him and his partners and all the rest that goes along with not being declared dead for seven years rule, it is a nightmare beyond belief. can't even begin to imagine the grief of his deceased passenger and if there will even be anything left for the family to sue my deceased cousin let alone the aircraft manufacturer. Is this worse then going over the falls into a watery grave? I guess what goes around - comes around!
