Contingency Plan for the Year 2000 Issue in the Nuclear Industry

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is making available a draft document entitled, ``Contingency Plan for the Year 2000 Issue in the Nuclear Industry.'' This document describes the current plan and approach the NRC staff expects to use in addressing contingencies resulting from potential unanticipated events due to the Year 2000 (Y2K) problem. The NRC staff believes prudent contingency planning for the Y2K problem is appropriate in addition to actions being taken by NRC licensees to achieve Y2K readiness of their facilities. The staff further recognizes the importance of a broader focus that will help to ensure that Y2K concerns regarding the national infrastructure are identified and resolved.
