Panel Hears Warning Over Defects In Nuclear Safety
Three former General Electric nuclear division engineers quit on Feb 2 to urge stricter safety reviews.

They warn that plant safety evaluations focus on continued operation rather than true risk, urging independence and more data before new reactor lines like liquid metal fast breeders.
