They use a well organized contingency plan process that involves many working groups. The balance will be completed in November followed by a training programme. The status of Y2K programmes at Chernobyl, Zaporizhzhya, South Ukraine and Khmelnytskyy is analogous to that of Rivne. The development of contingency plans at all NPPs of the Ukraine will be finished prior to the end of November 1999. United Kingdom BNFL used an internally generated guidance since they started early and have compared the resulting process against international standards with favourable results.
Domestic process emphasizes partnerships with suppliers and customers.
All NPPs have completed their remediation programmes and have minimized supply chain risks through comprehensive supplier evaluations and stockpiling. A comprehensive contingency plan process is being used that includes pre-positioning the facility, anticipated support activities, training, staffing levels and effective communications to implement contingency plan. The primary external risks are loss of off-site power and depletion of consumables. A five day supply of consumables will be available. It is anticipated that minimum activities will be occurring during any critical date rollover and extra surveillances will be used to detect failures.
