Re: Senate Panel Seeks Y2K Nuke Plant Contingency Plans

     We should also be very hopeful that there is no significant problem at 
     any nuke plant due to Y2k, or the entire industry's effort at 
     convincing the public that nuclear energy is viable will be destroyed, 
     as would the credibility of the industry and the NRC. Hopefully 
     nothing has been overlooked......

The following is interesting, considering that the US nuclear 
industry is among the very few industries that has put in significant 
resources to mitigate any Y2K issues. The NRC has followed through on 
this with the urgency needed. Now we see the US Senate intervening. 
Politically motivated .. trying to gain public support? 
     
I think it would be terrific if the US Congress just disappeared, as 
part of a Y2K glitch!!! Starting over may just be the answer!
