Fire of Palo N plant worker upheld as justified safety breach
Federal judge in Cedar Rapids ruled Iowa Electric Light & Power could fire Donald Schott for opening a door at the Duane Arnold Energy Center while a safety door should have remained closed. The ruling cites strict nuclear safety policy and post Three Mile Island standards, noting the man’s deliberate act risked containment. An arbitrator had ordered reinstatement with back pay, but the company challenged that decision.
