Yes, if you can't get at your money, what good are the banks? on other things: 2000 Looms for US Nuclear Plants by Declan McCullagh 3:00 a.m. 30.Apr.99.PDT One-third of US nuclear plants will not be finished with Y2K repairs in time to meet the industry's self-imposed summer deadline, says a report due for release on Friday. Of the 66 operating nuclear facilities, 20 said that they will need extra time to rid their computer systems of Year 2000 glitches, according to the most recent quarterly report from the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC). Some nuclear plants have chosen to wait until after 30 June to fix systems during regular maintenance cycles, and industry officials predict that all repairs will be done well in advance of 1 January 2000. "They will be finished before the end of the year. There's relatively little that needs to be done at the units," NERC spokesman Eugene F. Gorzelnik said.
