Early signs of 'incompetence at every level' went unheeded during Nuclear Plant Construction

[n2doc]

COLUMBIA -- The scaffolding wasn't there when welders arrived. So they stood around.

Construction orders for dozens of ironworkers weren't handed out until mid-afternoon. So they pushed brooms.

Workers couldn't tighten bolts to steel beams because of questionable engineering. So they spent hour after costly hour doing workarounds.

Seasoned laborers who worked on two now-cancelled nuclear reactors in South Carolina described the $9 billion construction effort as one of the most dysfunctional jobs they have ever done.

1. Nuclear power was and is...

...a terribly inefficient and deadly idea.

2. This happened in Ohio 30 years ago at the Zimmer "nuclear" plant.

The construction was so bad that they could never commission it as an Nuke plant. So they threw in a coal fired boiler, and made we rate payers pay for it all.

Sounds like they will do the same here.
