Here is a copy of the latest NRC plant status report. It shows that, out 104 plants, 90 are operating at 100% capacity. This is a very typical report - I see nothing to indicate either widespread failures or plants running below capacity due to Y2K problems. It's good to keep checking on these things but not so good to jump to unfounded conclusions.

Sorry if the formatting isn't too good as it looks like the width may be a problem.
