Interesting article wherein gov''t source discusses diesal and nukes. I don't know how long it will remain at this url.

"An NRC spokesman has said that while the agency considers a seven-day fuel supply sufficient to handle the operation of the diesel generators in the event that offsite power is lost, many plants are planning to have additional fuel oil onsite as part of their Y2K contingency planning efforts."
