One occasionally sees ATMs running Windows 95 or 98; in this case the Windows element is simply a user interface which talks to a secure and safe black box (actually a separate computer in an ATM, usually, I believe). I'm sure this is a similar case.rsynnotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125935382858758107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-43724843954497569302009-03-18T13:12:00.000-04:002009-03-18T13:12:00.000-04:00I have to agree with John and others, looks like s...I have to agree with John and others, looks like someone pulled a fast one.

While the photo could be from inside the plant, there is no evidence that the image is from a control or protection system. <BR/><BR/>My guess is we are looking at a display screen of a non-safety related process monitoring tool, or of a simulation. If I am correct then the version of the operating system on the computer generating the display is not in any way related to plant operation or reactor safety.<BR/><BR/>Let's not spread misinformation about nuclear plants - there is already enough of that going on!J Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297139247058382607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-20032704698227198522009-03-17T16:51:00.000-04:002009-03-17T16:51:00.000-04:00It could also be WIN2K with the older interface ch...It could also be WIN2K with the older interface chosen.
