from the Senate 100 days report "NRC must remain vigilant over all 103 nuclear power plants, particularly the 20 that have Y2K readiness dates in the fourth quarter of this year. Unless nuclear licensees have fully tested and audited safety and operational systems, there is some concern that unexpected problems will trigger untested, as of yet, contingency plans."

"Equally troubling is the fact that only about 24% of the companies are publicly disclosing their reports to NERC.

Finally, and most alarming, is the fact that 270 of the 2,012 public power utilities, including some serving large metropolitan areas, did not participate in APPAs June survey and were, as a result, not included in NERCs August 1999 report."
