Davis-Besse trial

Seems there is more on the 'big hole' coverup. Seems they knew there was a potential for a problem, many years before. However, management refused to spring for $250K to put in some inspection holes.

I know how these things work in the nuclear industry. If management refuses to spend the necessary money, then they put intense pressure on engineers to go along with it. Although this whole trial is a very US sort of thing, it shows the average plant engineer that they should not go against their instincts. Unfortunately, most people can't retire, like I did...
