- westiseast 9y agoSame, went on a tour of a U.K. nuclear power plant and its all 1960s tech like this. I asked why and they said you can't afford the risk of bugs/problems for the efficiency gains you might achieve with new kit.
- officemonkey 9y agoI talked to the person who wrote a program that displayed reactor data on a computer screen. She wrote it in FORTRAN in the late 80s. They're still using it 30 years later. She confirmed that her programming passed Y2K with flying colors.
