Nuke-2K OK, Says Nuclear Energy Institute Official

Steven W. Unglesbee October 22, 1999

Dear Editor,

96 of America's 103 nuclear power plants are fully Y2K-ready. There are no remaining safety issues at any U.S. nuclear power plant, and the seven remaining reactors have a total of only nine non-safety Y2K issues outstanding. These have been targeted for remediation before year's end.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has concluded that the safety systems of every nuclear power plant are unaffected by Year 2000 computer issues and will function safely and reliably, if needed.

Two years ago, the nuclear energy industry developed a comprehensive Y2K readiness plan that goes far beyond NRC requirements and guides plant operators in addressing all potential Y2K issues that could affect safe, long-term electricity production. More than 200,000 items have been tested industrywide, and the 5 percent that required correction have been fixed.

The industry's Y2K readiness plan - and the current Y2K status of all U.S. nuclear power plants - can be viewed at the Nuclear Energy Institute's Internet site (www.nei.org).

Thanks to a coordinated, consistent industry effort, America's nuclear power plants will continue to meet 20 percent of our electricity needs as cleanly and safely when the clock strikes midnight on December 31 as they do today.

Sincerely, Steven W. Unglesbee Nuclear Energy Institute swu@nei.org
