IAEA WARNS OF NEED FOR Y2K PREPAREDNESS

The Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mohamed El-Baradei, in a statement to his agency's Board of Governors, flagged a need for heightened preparedness to respond to complications related to the "Y2K" computer glitch.

El-Baradei noted that his Agency has continued its Y2K assistance program by organizing missions to nuclear power plants and medical facilities that requested assistance with the bug. He said, however, that there is concern that some nuclear power plant operators are falling behind in their efforts to complete the necessary Y2K tasks because of late actions and a shortage of funds.

The concern is not directly related to safety, but such areas as updating computers to monitor radiation, according to the IAEA.

Monitoring radiation is not related to safety? I'm glad a non-tech has .gov officials taking care of me, cause I sure would have thought monitoring radiation is linked to safety...
