Rep. Markey seeks independent probe of NRC's safety culture
Rep.
Edward Markey, D-Mass., is calling for an independent investigation of
the safety culture at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission after learning
of alleged management concerns of some of the agency's staff. Markey
said workers told him that the NRC failed to address safety issues at
DTE Energy's Fermi nuclear plant in Michigan and at the Omaha Public
Power District's Fort Calhoun plant in Nebraska. "Every individual who
contacted my office expressed concerns that they did not trust the NRC
[inspector general] to resolve their concerns," Markey said. Bloomberg
