SUCCESS STORIES
Y2K PROGRAM
• Successfully completed in July 2001 • Mission-critical and post-rollover remediation of
Y2K problems for 76 large computer-based information, measuring, and control systems at five Ukrainian NPPs
• Financial support for the program, totaling over US$ 2.1million and
€ 700,000 provided by Canada, the European Union, and the USA
• Efforts of the more than 300 Ukrainian experts from
the NPPs, the NPP Operational Support Institute, and experts from Energo-Atom, who worked on the project and were responsible for the technical aspects of the Y2K Program implementation
• Program administration in close cooperation with the
US Department of Energy, Pacific Northwest Laboratory (USA), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the European Community

Second Level
Third Level Fourth Level Fifth Level
The risk of handling and transport of the mines is within usual industrial levels.
No open air destruction of the mines should take place.
Recommended to proceed the project with the second phase:
‹footer› *The mines contain liquid toxic explosive and could be applied using cartridges, bombs, and propelled rockets.
