While on the topic of power: Y2K ALERT 1/13/1999 WAITING FOR YOU IN TODAY'S ALERT... ___________________________________ * The majority of America's 103 nuclear power plants have not even finished the assessment stage (step one) * 20 out of 66 nuclear power plants are expected to miss the June 30 remediation deadline * Both the NERC and the NEI are avoiding the term, "compliant." * US Secretary of Energy is concerned about lagging power utilities * Rick Cowles says the industry is painting a (false) rosy picture * The power industry is on a 15-70-15 curve. That means 85% would have problems * Isolating from the power grid can cause blackouts in some areas * Going back to manual operation of most power plants is impossible * Supplies of critical replacement parts are backlogged, and some companies might not get them in time * Emergency response technicians will be spread thin when power failures occur in 2000 * Power in other countries is likely to be worse-off than the United States * The NRC will be forced to shut down nuke plants if they can't certify safe operation * Y2K will likely bankrupt some electric utilities * The Y2K-related loss of electricity will definitely have some economic impact Find it all at: y2knewswire.com Though these don't sound like the numbers I hear form out utility.
