Hi Y2K WASH friends & new contacts,
With less than a week til rollover, Y2K WASH is putting out a call
for high visibility actions to carry our message loud & clear to Pres.
Clinton, nuclear utilities worldwide, and post-rollover emergency managers:
shut down reactors, beef up the back up with better generators and more
fuel, and de-alert nuclear weapons!
This is the moment when our cyberspace campaign needs to manifest
in physical reality. None of us know how many of us there are, since alerts
have gone out chain-letter style to many lists. We do know that the White
House and Senate offices have been flooded with calls and letters in recent
weeks (GREAT JOB!!) and the DC media considered the issue important enough
to put us on C-SPAN and Jim Lehrer. We know there are many of you who care
very deeply. We pray that you will get this alert, call your friends and
hit the streets this week And keep making those calls to Clinton too
(202-456-1111), and Energy Sec Bill Richardson (202-586-6210).
Here are some action ideas.. We need your input, comments and
participation. This will be a very interesting exercise in creative
organizing, since this is about as last minute as it gets, but we think
these things can be done-if enough people pitch in and help make them
happen. PLEASE EMAIL BACK TO ME IF YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN ANY WAY! And let
us know if you have another idea that hooks in with what we're proposing-
or plan a different action, so we can network people together.
1) PRESS CONFERENCE/DIE-IN DEMO IN NEW YORK'S TIMES SQUARE WEDNESDAY
MORNING 12/29.
2) (ANY LOCATION) RIBBON CAMPAIGN - MEMORIALIZING THE WORKER WHO HAS JUST
DIED IN TOKAIMURA. BLUE IS FOR THE NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTION WHICH WAS
DESCRIBED AS A BLINDING BLUE FLASH -AND IN A POSITIVE WAY, BLUE IS FOR HOPE
AND BLUE SKY AND BLUE RIBBON (THE HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENT)
1) PRESS CONFERENCE/DIE-IN DEMO IN NY'S TIME SQUARE Wed. 12/29. (everyone
in the world associates Times Square with New Year's) Figure 10 am (good
time for media) (Note: tentative time-to be confirmed).
The press conference to take place in a building near Times Sq.
(such as the ACLU building or a theater lobby). We have some people we're
asking, but please let us know if you are in touch with high level
government officials, celebrities, nuclear and computer experts who might
be able to come, either to speak or just be there. (Don't wait to hear back
from us before you contact them. Call and alert them asap, and then we'll
get back to you with a final roster for the day.)
The he die-in demo, following the press conference, would happen on
the triangle island between 7th/Broadway (43 or 44th street?) where
ArmyNavy recruiting center is located - (it is the site of many
demonstrations.)
The demo is modeled after one we did with great media success here
in Calif., with just a handful of people: dress up in New Year's clothes &
party hats, with noisemakers & champagne glasses, toast the millenium, do a
countdown, and keel over dead. Somebody in a radiation suit & skull mask &
geiger counter checks the bodies for rad levels. For New York we want to
add an image of the Times Square New Year's ball dropping (working on the
technical details-any ideas welcome), with a slogan like "the NRC dropped
the ball with Y2K nuclear safety".
Other signs and banners will be essential. (Bannering of a building
would be superb!) Slogan suggestions will follow-or feel free to make them
up.
Additional actions could be tied in with this scenario. Anyone
who's up for a brief, chilly naked march, this may be your moment!
(Note: given the short time, we may not attempt to apply for a
permit. We're not doing amplified sound or a march, so as far as we know
it's not essential. The Die-In will also be a very brief event/photo
opportunity. Please send any thoughts/ info on this aspect.)
2) (ANY LOCATION) RIBBON CAMPAIGN - MEMORIALIZING THE WORKER WHO HAS JUST
DIED IN TOKAIMURA, and calling for nuclear shut down & de-alerting. Blue is
for the nuclear chain reaction which was described as a blinding blue flash
- and in a positive way, blue is for blue sky - happiness, and "blue
ribbon" - high achievement. People once thought nukes were our highest
achievement, but it turns out that the highest achievement of humankind
would be to shut down the nukes & get our energy from non-polluting
sources-and retire nuclear weapons & learn to negotiate our differences.
Ribbons can be wrapped around trees or poles, worn on clothes or
arms, etc. A few people could cover a lot of territory! Remember to
announce the campaign to your local media, in a release or letters to the
Editor, when you have a lot of the ribbons up, so people will know what
it's about. Here in the Bay Area, one of our people is going to make
stickers with the sleeping nukes & the name & website: Y2K WORLD ATOMIC
SAFETY HOLIDAY www.y2kwash.org
OK, HERE GOES!
HERE'S A ONE-PAGE FACT SHEET, IN CASE YOU DON'T HAVE IT YET:
LET'S NOT RISK MULTIPLE MELTDOWNS OR ACCIDENTAL MISSILE LAUNCHES
The accident at the nuclear processing plant in Tokaimura, Japan this
October, is a reminder of the awesome destructive power of radioactive
technology. It could foreshadow nuclear accidents at the turn of the
century as a result of the "Y2K" glitch that misreads the year 2000-unless
we act now to prevent catastrophe.
COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONS MAY CONFUSE OPERATORS WITH FAULTY DATA
A Y2K test in February, 1999 at the Peachbottom reactor in Pennsylvania
caused a day-long crash of the plant's primary and backup computers. With
blank screens, operators could not view conditions inside the reactor. Was
this an ominous preview of conditions all over the world after New Years
2000? Bad data, human error and lax regulations triggered disasters at
Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Tokaimura.
NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS' COOLING SYSTEMS NEED CONSTANT POWER. . .
But government reports admit that Y2K-related electricity grid failures are
a possibility, especially in rural areas. Most U.S. reactors have two
diesel generators to provide backup power, but their reliability record is
poor: 48% reported problems since January 1999-and they stock only seven
days' fuel.
MANY U.S. SPENT (USED) FUEL POOLS HAVE NO BACKUP GENERATORS!
Spent fuel pools next to reactors contain up to 3-5 times more radioactive
fuel than reactors. Thefuel gradually cools, but refueling scheduled by 22
reactors this fall will add intensely hot fuel rods to their storage pools.
Without power for cooling pumps, these pools could boil within 24 hours,
and soon melt down.
THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC) IS NOT PROTECTING THE PUBLIC
It's protecting nuclear industry profits instead. Congress' General
Accounting Office (GAO) says: "NRC's regulations...do not define, for
either a licensee or the public, the conditions necessary for a plant's
safety" in Y2K. The NRC allowed the industry to self-report readiness, with
no independent verification-and plans to suspend nuclear safety
requirements for the New Year in order to keep reactors running!
NUCLEAR POWER IS NOT NEEDED AT NEW YEAR'S
Electricity use is down nearly 50% in winter, so there will be plenty
without the 19% that is nuclear. Yet the NRC claims that health and safety
is served by nuclear plants generating electricity-whether or not their
computers are malfunctioning. They should shut down to protect the public,
like other hazardous industries.
THE BUG'S IN THE BOMB, TOO
The British American Security Information Council reports the possibility
that the nuclear weapons states "will experience faulty or blocked
communications, erroneous early-warning readings, [and] blacked-out
computer screens" from Y2K, resulting in explosions or accidental launch of
nuclear missiles.
TELL THE GOVERNMENT TO SHUT THEM DOWN
Y2K WASH believes public pressure can persuade national governments, the
NRC and the nuclear industry to be prudent and responsible, rather than
gamble with disaster. The health of everyone in the Northern Hemisphere
(where most of the reactors and weapons are located) is at stake.
THE Y2K WORLD ATOMIC SAFETY HOLIDAY: GIVE THE NUKES A REST FOR Y2K!
* De-alert nuclear weapons and remove them from delivery systems
* Shut down nuclear reactors, waste and processing facilities
* Beef up backup generators for reactors and waste storage pools
* Suspend nuclear shipments
* Protect the community and pay the workers

*** (2) London: Closed for the holiday:
******************************************************************
Around the world, concerts and other Y2K-related events have been canceled. One of my local papers is reporting that Las Vegas is expecting about 250,000 visitors, well down from the 750,000 forecast last spring. Things such as this next item will undoubtedly cause even more cancellations, and low attendance at those events which go forward despite the "warning signs". -- rdh

Anarchist attack fears turn City into no-go area
Nick Fielding and James Clark
THE City of London is bracing itself for violent attacks over the millennium
holiday after threats by anarchists to start a new Great Fire of London.
Police are to isolate the City after receiving a warning of the plan, as well
as intelligence about Islamic fundamentalists and Irish republican splinter
groups. Access will be possible only through seven tightly controlled
entrances and exits. "It will effectively be a no-go area," said a
Corporation of London spokesman.
Armed troops will also be on stand-by at three bases around the capital in
case of public disorder if the millennium bug causes chaos. The government's
emergency planning committee, chaired by Jack Straw, the home secretary, will
sit for 24 hours over millennium night and New Year's Day to monitor
essential services and public safety. One barracks will be used as a
helicopter port. A military communications network, including police and key
Whitehall departments, will also stand ready.
Security at the Millennium Dome in Greenwich, which will be attended by the
Queen, the prime minister and other dignitaries, will be unprecedented.
Bridges across the Thames will be closed, tunnels emptied and aircraft
forbidden to fly over the site. Up to 32 police vessels will patrol the
Thames, including two fire tenders. Members of the navy's elite Special Boat
Squadron will be on duty.
Scotland Yard's response is being co-ordinated by a millennium unit involving
the anti-
terrorist squad, special branch and liaison between MI5 and MI6, the Home
Office and other government departments.
The unit's concerns include Islamic terror groups based in Europe and linked
to Osama Bin Laden, the terrorist described by the CIA as the world's most
wanted man.
The FBI said this week that one such group, based in Frankfurt, Germany, was
planning to send a string of parcel bombs to British and American targets
over the holiday period. The warning came as anti-terrorist police in Britain
arrested an Algerian asylum-seeker linked to an Islamic terror group. Ramdane
Zouabri, 26, has been charged with threatening to kill an Algerian community
leader after he was allegedly filmed making calls from a north London
telephone box. Zouabri's brother is leader of the Algerian Groupe Islamique
Armé (GIA), which killed 30 people on Christmas Eve at a roadblock near
Khemis Miliana, west of the Algerian capital, Algiers.
Deputy assistant commissioner Alan Fry, head of Scotland Yard's
anti-terrorist branch, has asked members of the public to be on their guard
and to contact police if they notice anything suspicious.

*** (3) NASA shutdown for Y2K planned:
*************************************************************************
This can undoubtedly be labeled "actions speak louder than words" since NASA doesn't appear to want to ruffle any feathers, but nor does it want to have any problems! The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is reportedly telling its students and faculty to shut down their computers no later than December 30th, 1999, and that they remain off until no sooner than January 2nd, 2000. -- rdh

Y2K - NASA Very
Concerned - Warns Of
Possible Serious Problems
link
12-22-99
LONDON (Reuters) - Just when you thought the millennium computer bug had been
swatted into submission, NASA reminds us that just maybe there could be
serious problems.
If NASA, with all the brainpower and money at its disposal, curtailed its
space shuttle mission to fix the Hubble telescope because of Y2K fears,
perhaps other organizations that are not on the cutting edge of technology
ought to watch out.
NASA mission managers not only wanted Discovery, launched on Dec. 17, back in
its hanger with all systems powered down by Dec. 31. They also want all the
computers at Mission Control in Houston and at the Kennedy Space Center in
Florida turned off before the calendar rollover.
NASA said it does not expect any Y2K problems but officials said recently
they did not want to take any chances either.
Other experts still worry about potential trouble from the bug. The fear is
that some computers might succumb to the Y2K problem, where programs using
double-digit dates like 97 might trip over the zeros in 2000, reading it as
1900.
Some experts see trouble in places where rickety technology is typical.
Others claim that even America cannot rest easy.
AIR TRAFFIC, NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS
"I see problems with air traffic control and nuclear power station control
and both of those in areas stretching from eastern Europe, not including
Poland and the Czech Republic, but going east from there to Japan," Paul
Beaver, spokesman for Jane's Defense Weekly, said.
"Japan will be OK, the Middle East will be OK -- oil is important to them and
they're not stupid -- but central Asian republics, these are areas which
don't have the resources (to fix problems) and have pirated much software in
the past."
Beaver is concerned about China, particularly its civil air traffic control
and power stations. "It's almost impossible to be sure (about China). There
are so many things which could go wrong," he said.
BCS Consulting, in a report published this week, sees problems in Russia, but
it includes countries like the United States and Britain, generally thought
to be in the forefront of the fight against the Y2K bug, in its red for
danger category.
BCS said this category is for Y2K failure which could have an immediate
effect on business life and therefore local society. It said Japan, Greece,
Spain, Italy and Portugal are also in its most-at-risk category.
The United States and Britain, leaders in Y2K remediation, also rely more on
computer networks than others, BCS said.
The safe operation of potentially dangerous materials in oil refineries and
chemical plants is also causing concern.
WATCH OUT FOR CHEMICALS, REFINERIES
Big operators like Rhone-Poulenc of France and U.S. firms DuPont, Monsanto
and Ashland have already decided to close down potentially dangerous
installations on the New Year's weekend.
Regulatory bodies are concerned about the threat from small and medium-sized
chemical facilities rather than those operated by big firms. As late as July,
the U.S. Chemical Safety Board sent an open letter to the 50 state governors
pointing to the possibility of Y2K-inspired catastrophic events in the
nation's chemical and petroleum handling facilities.
Peter Kearns of the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development said he was concerned about the operation of potentially
hazardous installations in less industrialized countries. Smaller operators
in industrialized countries were also a worry.
"If things go wrong with computers in offices or banks, that obviously might
be bad in some ways, but chemical incidents could endanger life and health,"
Kearns said.
Beaver also expressed concern about processes that often need to be
continuous, but he was positive overall. "Natural gas and mining can be shut
down, although things like pumps need to be working continuously," he said.
"There are gases plants and crude oil pipelines, but overall we shouldn't
have too many problems."

----- MY RESPONSE: -----
Hi!
I think the world knows where the real Y2K dangers are right now, and is terrified. People talk about this being "the end of the world" but no one I've met is blaming four horsemen, aliens, the devil incarnate, or even the Messiah. They all blame the military, who continue to risk setting off all those nukes.
I'm talking about people who don't understand a thing about Y2K, who haven't read the literature, haven't studied all the scary reports we've seen -- just people I meet, neighbors, friends, etc. More or less randomly picked, that is. I think Americans are at least somewhat aware that Y2K is nothing to cheer about, and that the nukes are the concern, not their banking statement.
If Y2K, WTO, and not to mention MCO have done nothing else, they have at least made many -- perhaps most -- American totally disgusted with the major news media outlets, who have been lying to them about these things. Media can never "connect the dots", the government is totally incapable, but the average human being actually knows the score pretty well.
Last night, Jay Leno asked how many people were going to stay home for New Year's. It sounded like about 1/3 of the audience loudly applauded the idea! It was definitely very positively accepted as THE THING TO DO this New Year's -- not at all a bad idea. I wish he had said something not just about staying home, but about staying with family. Close enough. I have been advocating staying home for New Year's for a while now ("Make Y2K a family day"). Maybe I made a difference! Unfortunately, it's a side-issue compared to the threat of nuclear war, but it was clear from other things Leno was saying that he was thinking about nuclear war too (I forget the details). He doesn't want to live in a post-apocalyptic society any more than we do!
The world is upset, angry, scared -- even terrified, also despondent, morose, in despair, fed up, tired -- not of "Y2K" itself -- but of the threat of global annihilation for the sake of "politics through other means".
Of course, everyone tends to end their complaint with "but there's nothing *I* can do about it!" and leaves it at that.
I tell them to at least write a letter to Clinton, to which they reply, "what good would that do? Waste a stamp."
What a nation! Willing to die in someone else's war, or in no war at all (just technology gone amuck) rather than waste a stamp!
We do live in interesting times, of that there can be no doubt. Trying times, as well.
Thanks again for writing -- one thing good we know, is that the world is far more aware of the madness of D.U., nukes, nuclear weapons, etc. than they were just a few years ago.
Hopefully, we will NOT have added "ammunition" for our logical points after Y2K, but a failure of anything to go wrong should not be a terrible setback for our cause, simply because, even if nothing goes wrong on Y2K, the nuclear industry WILL continue to have accidents, and the whole world is watching now, and have been for months. They are under scrutiny. If we can keep that scrutiny alive, we'll win sooner or later, because under scrutiny, the nuclear industry is very, very ugly and no one likes it.
Yours,
Russell
