Homer Simpson at the nuclear plant controls:
RIVERSIDE, Calif., Jan. 15 A Southern California nuclear plant has been ordered to train its managers and contractors in ethics following the report of security lapses.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Monday that one employee at the San Onofre plant near San Clemente falsely reported for five years that hourly fire checks had been done, the Los Angeles Times reported. The commission found five breaches of regulations in the past year, including two involving security. Officials would not specify the security problems.
Southern California Edison owns 75 percent of the plant, with the remainder split between San Diego Gas & Electric Co. and the city of Riverside.
"The order contains a comprehensive set of actions designed to improve performance at San Onofre by emphasizing a strong nuclear safety culture," said Elmo E. Collins, an NRC regional administrator. "The NRC depends on a good-faith effort by power plant workers to follow regulations."
We don't need to be afraid of foreign terrorists far away, we need to be afraid of incompetents close at home!
