Yes Coupons pay the percentage of nuclear power plants in the United States, Canada, Japan, Germany, The United Kingdom and France which are listed in the database at:
International Nuclear Safety Center (INSC)
as Operable of 1998/9/21 which are still listed in this database as operable as of 2000/2/15. (i.e. the number of operable plants as of 2000/2/15-that were operable as of 1998/9/15 divided by the number of plants operable as of 1998/9/21).
In the event that the above database is not operational or the internet is down the judge may substitute on appropriate authoritative source. The intent of this claim is to assess what percentage of nuclear power plants may be brought down in large, well-developed, politically stable countries for a prolonged period of time because of Y2K problems. Another claim, Y2Knuk measures the probability of a major nuclear accident near this time.
