Laptop Battery Federal regulators announced yesterday that the new owner of the Indian Point 2 nuclear power plant has made improvements there significant enough to raise the plant's dismal safety rating, if only slightly.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Thinkpad The plant, on the Hudson River in Buchanan, Westchester County, had the worst safety rating of the country's 103 commercial nuclear power plants. But in a report released yesterday by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Indian Point 2 was listed among the six worst in terms of safety.

Laptop Computers Especially after Sept. 11, many environmentalists and politicians have called to have the plant closed, warning that a terrorist attack or a plant malfunction could be catastrophic, spewing radiation many miles around the plant, which is 30 miles from Manhattan.
laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)
Laptop Computer But that opposition seems to have lost some momentum this summer. Almost a year after Sept. 11, public apprehension about another attack has lessened, and the fear of Indian Point's being a terrorist target has become a less effective rallying cry for the plant's opponents.

Desktop Computer Meanwhile, Entergy has been campaigning to convince the public that the plant is safe. The company has mounted a public relations drive that includes broadcast ads referring to Indian Point 2 as an "energy center" rather than a nuclear plant and repeating its new slogan, "Safe, Secure, Vital." The company has encouraged the plant's 1,460 employees to attest publicly to its safety.
Notebooks Jim Steets, a spokesman for Entergy, called the report crucial in notifying the public about the plant's safety. "People can start feeling better about Indian Point because it's a safe place," he said. "The federal regulator has said so itself, and that's important to us and the community. We feel we can improve further and be one of the best-rated plants in the country."
Lenovo But foes of the plant dismissed much of the report. Kelly MacMillan, a spokeswoman for Assemblyman Richard L. Brodsky, whose district includes Buchanan, warned that "we can't lose sight of the fact that this is still an unsafe plant with an evacuation plan that cannot protect the public health and safety."

Travelstar According to the report, eight federal inspectors spent a month studying Indian Point 2 this summer and concluded that Entergy had operated the plant safely and made progress in addressing its "underlying performance issues," including equipment operation, engineering methods and oversight by senior management.
Gateway The report commended Entergy for addressing weaknesses that had led to two major malfunctions: a steam generator tube failure in February 2000 and an unexpected reactor shutdown in August 1999. These two incidents led to the poor rating.
Laptop Parts The biggest current flaw cited in the report was weakness in a wall intended to protect the plant's central control room in case of fire.
Software Alex Matthiessen, executive director of the environmental group Riverkeeper, said: "The report does nothing to address the fact that Indian Point is a potential terrorist target and poses an enormous risk to the 21 million people living in the New York metropolitan area."
Hard Drives While the report makes no specific mention of how the plant would withstand a terrorist attack, Mr. Steets, the company spokesman, said that breaking through the reactor was virtually impossible, especially with recent security improvements.
