From Iain Nicholson
Nuclear power stations’ primary protection systems are completely analogue
and are no more sophisticated than a couple of bits of wire connected to trip
units, so the millennium bug is irrelevant.
Furthermore, all nuclear reactors in this country have a big red button
within easy reach on the operator’s desk. Pressing this button unlatches the
rods and instantly shuts the reactor down.
Personally, I’m a coward and wouldn’t go anywhere near anything I thought was
dangerous, so I chose to work at a nuclear power station.
