Two senior nuclear power plant operators plan an armored car robbery and other employees don't tell anyone about it and this Orwellian Newspeak document refers to

"one incident involving violations of the Behavioral Observation Program at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station."

As if the employees failed to note specific rules about such behavior in the employee comportment manual.

"The NRC concluded that Buhrman’s and Brittain’s actions while offsite demonstrated they could not be relied upon to adhere to NRC requirements to protect plant and public safety."

No kidding? Really? What tipped them off - the signs are subtle!

"In addition, Dresden personnel who knew about Buhrman’s plan to commit an offsite crime failed to report the situation to plant management, which is an NRC requirement for workers who have unescorted access to the plant."

So reporting a potential armored car robbery is only required when the armored car robbers have a certain level of seniority?

“We expect nuclear workers to be trustworthy and feel responsible for plant safety. This includes alerting management should they encounter questionable behavior in other workers. Plants must have effective programs and training to make sure employees adhere to these standards,”

This sounds like the fact that employees didn't report the crimes being planned by senior nuclear power plant operators resulted from incorrectly implemented corporate training programs regarding plant safety!

Holy @%$&*!

We trust them to run the reactor, but they plan a heist?!

We were lucky.

They could have locked the doors, run the reactor into critical, and threatened a general meltdown. Held a city for ransom.

Perhaps one day, someone will do that. (Nightmare!)

I hope the NRC has considered that possibility.

A nightmare even the citizens of Mordor would cringe at contemplating.

Buhrman (...) fled the country after being released on bail.

So the NRC is banning someone who fled the country from future work at a nuke facility? LOL.

Dresdan - isn’t that tempting fate, to put up a Nuclear power plant and calling it “Dresdan”? That takes cojones...

They’re replaceable. Obama has many libyans waiting in the wings for their jobs.
