"Eastern Europe's vast pool of nuclear technology is of major concern to the United States and the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, as it remains open to theft and black market trade."

Thanks V for this interesting post....the above paragraph from that article is particularly concerning. So, are we to really believe that the IAEA working under the aupices of the U.N. would really have our best interests in mind. I wouldn't trust the U.N. to care for my goldfish, let alone nuclear safety!!

FirstEnergy fined after whistleblowers lost jobs

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has fined FirstEnergy Corp.'s nuclear operations unit $55,000 for a safety culture-related incident five years ago.

The agency also named Georgia-based contractor Williams Power Corp. for violating federal regulations. The company employed three painters at Perry who immediately lost their jobs in March 2000 after pointing out a potential safety violation.
