NRC is revising their recommendations on nuclear plants and Y2k believing now that it would be prudent to take regulatory actions in ADVANCE (my emphasis) of the rollover so plants can be safe. What a great idea! However did they think that up?? > >By memorandum dated September 10, 1999 and >revised September 13, 1999, NRC's Office of >Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) issued a >revision to its policy for regulatory actions >for licensees of nuclear power plants that >have not completed Year 2000 (Y2K) readiness >activities. >The Commission's Staff Requirements Memorandum >(SRM) related to Commission Paper SECY-99-162, dated >August 5, 1999, approved the policy for staff action for >nuclear power plants that have not completed Y2K >readiness activities by July 1, 1999, subject to >comments.

In addition, the SRM recommended that the policy be updated to reflect receipt and analysis of licensee responses to Generic Letter 98-01 and its Supplement. The revised policy satisfies Item 1 of the SRM.
