Nuclear Inattentiveness: Whistleblower Wake-Up in Pennsylvania

On Tuesday, October 9th, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission held a public meeting to announce the conclusions of its investigation at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Plant -- the investigation touched off by a Bernabei & Wachtel client who blew the whistle on sleeping security guards at the plant. Exelon Nuclear and the NRC presented conclusions of their investigation to a room full of concerned citizens from the local community.  The NRC acknowledged that the problem of inattentiveness was ignored by supervisors even after our client initially raised the issue. The NRC, however, despite interviewing nearly a third of the guards at the plant, did not identify a single incident of sleeping at the plant, other than the four documented by our client.
