Mitsubishi strikes back at SCE’s negligence claims
July 23, 2013
Dive Summary:
- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd has struck back against Southern California Edison’s (SCE) allegations of gross negligence regarding its steam tubes built for the San Onofre nuclear power plant, now permanently shuttered due to excessive wear in the tubes.
- Mitsubishi said SCE’s recent notice of dispute is “factually incorrect, legally unsound and inappropriate.” The industrial giant said it will fight the negligence claims until a resolution is made. The steam generators “were designed and manufactured with SCE’s full supervision and approval...," Mitsubishi said.
- Mitsubishi's final trump card? Its contract with SCE limits its liability to $137 million, the company says. Meanwhile, SCE says San Onofre’s lost has cost over $2 billion.
