Nuclear plant whistleblowers win Labor Department support
The Labor Department decided to defend safety inspectors facing dismissal after whistleblowing on nuclear reactor construction flaws. The move came as it reversed prior stance in the Kansas Wolf Creek case, backing James B. Wells, a quality assurance inspector for Kansas Gas & Electric, whose 1983 firing was deemed improper. The agency cited employee protection under the Energy Reorganization Act, signaling a shift from earlier rulings and raising questions about federal oversight of nuclear safety whistleblowers.
