Here's a very interesting site: www.iaea.org/worldatom/ Here are some excerpts from and Introductory statement made by the Director of IAEA, General Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei (from the 11/25/98 meeting in Vienna)

Year 2000 (Y2K) Computer System Problems

Further to a resolution of the General Conference (GC(42)/RES/11), the Secretariat has intensified its work, both internally and in co-operation with Member States, to address the year 2000 computer system problem in respect of nuclear and medical facilities which use radioactive materials. With respect to safety, a meeting of experts was held in Vienna two weeks ago to draft guidance for nuclear utilities on identifying and correcting problems and on contingency measures. A meeting to prepare similar guidance for medical applications will be held before the end of the year. A questionnaire has also been placed on the nuclear safety pages of the Agencys Web site, by which Member States can inform the Secretariat of the diagnostic and remedial actions they have taken. The information gathered will be disseminated among Member States. Further actions are planned throughout 1999.
