CONGRESSMAN SAYS SEABROOK PLANT NOT READY FOR Y2K BOSTON (AP) — Last month, a Massachusetts congressman warned that all 103 of the nation's nuclear power plants should be inspected to avoid Y2K problems that could include blackouts, even meltdowns, if their backup generators didn't work. In response to his warning, a spokesman for the Seabrook nuclear power plant in Seabrook, N.H., told The Associated Press the power plant's two backup diesel generators had never failed. But on Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Malden, released a daily event report from Seabrook saying one of the two backup generators may not have been working for 21 months. fosters.com April 7 - By Leslie Miller - Associated Press Writer The NRC has audited 12 [of 103] plants so far... bostonherald.com Cheryl

Thanks Flats!! I wanted to forward that article on Sydney to a friend of mine with a link. As for Chicago, it's breaking my heart to think those breathilyzer machines may spew out inadmissible data... <vbg> As CK pointed out to most of us here on SI years ago, the embedded systems issue remains the wild card with Y2K. It is surprising just how many embedded chips/systems a city like Sydney identified. I wonder if Denver is still planning on "Fixing on Failure"?? Wouldn't be prudent...:0) Regards, Ron
