This is disturbing:

The Slammer worm penetrated a private computer network at Ohio's
Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in January and disabled a safety
monitoring system for nearly five hours, despite a belief by plant
personnel that the network was protected by a firewall, SecurityFocus
has learned.

Not that I'm against nuclear power, but using Windows in a nuclear power
plant.
