Frances's electricity company EDF will be keeping
a close watch December 31 on the Chinese nuclear
power station at Daya Bay north of Hong Kong to
see whether it experiences any problems linked to
the millennium computer bug, officials said Tuesday.

He said the Chinese station, built in part by EDF,
will in a way serve as a "guinea-pig" allowing
officials to see whether its computers mistakenly
register 1900 when the year 2000 starts.

I don't understand what this means.
Didn't they remediate the computers and software?
Are they waiting for it to blow then run around
and try to fix the problem in France?
Is this a worst case scenario of FOF? :-'
