FEATURE: Countdown to Meltdown? How to Prevent the Unthinkable from Happening

OCT 1999: Sometime in the next couple of weeks, a full page advertisement will appear in the New York Times under the headline "Y2K and the World's Nuclear Systems: THE DEADLIEST GAMBLE IN HISTORY". Readers of the world's most influential newspaper will learn that responsible scientists, politicians and government officials have "credible and alarming concerns about Y2K" but have kept silent "because they fear ridicule and humiliation in the present media climate". At last, many people will come to know of the enormous risks Y2K poses in nuclear safety which until now have been known only to a few dedicated researchers and activists.

The breakthrough was achieved following a September 18 meeting in London attended by leading members of the Japanese World Atomic Safety Holiday (WASH), Dr Helen Caldicott, the famous nuclear safety campaigner, and representatives of concerned UK and US groups to draft a strategy to reduce the risk that Y2K could accidentally cause nuclear meltdowns, explosions and possibly even accidental launch of nuclear missiles.

At least there will be some satisfaction of calling these idiots on their game of risk!

Not to chastise _you_ Mara!

Only to ask what possible "satisfaction" could be found?

The rampant corporate/government/public ignorance about the Y2K domino extents and consequences is inconsolably bewildering.

There is no consolation to be had except to survive the Y2K calamity about to come down around everyone's "ears."
