John,

As long as the grid remains stable to supply and in turn, provide one of our redundant emergency supply requirements, there would be no need to "bend the rules" I do not know of any Y2K susceptible equipment at our plant that would require a shutdown.

I do not know where this 4 month shutdown number comes from. My plant is scheduled to shutdown for refueling around Feb 26. We will be in cold shutdown in about 30 hours. We will have the fuel out before the week is over. The rest of the outage time will be spent on scheduled maintenance. I believe the entire outage including putting new fuel back in is scheduled for around 35 days.

Just for some on-topic discussion, I am also coming to believe that the gold game is manipulated and that we can not win until the CBs lose control. Maybe the media induced Y2K hysteria will be just the catalyst to cause that loss of control.

BTW, just ordered a generator. I do not have the same faith in all the coal-fired plants that I do in mine.
