Sounds like Entergy's QC/QA?

....Why is Palisades, Cooper, River Bend and Grand Gulf having so many inspection findings...the only one behaving is Vermont Yankee.
...and Arkansas one.

The Entergy organization is on fire and their oil rig is burning in the Gulf.  
...The new VY HPCI leak (update Feb 17), it looks substantial, NRC says its coming from the same HPCI steam drain line as the last leak...corrosion and erosion.


"The claims come in an amended version of the lawsuit, originally filed last year, that alleges BP inflated its stock price by hiding information and making false and misleading statements about its safety practices before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. BP's stock value dropped roughly in half following the oil rig explosion and spill.

The amended complaint claims that a company reorganization that began in 2007, which resulted in numerous layoffs and cuts to safety budgets, "would materially affect the Company's ability to drill safely in the Gulf of Mexico."

The suit said Lacy, an experienced drilling engineer who had implemented a rigorous drilling safety program while at Chevron, had been recruited to join BP in 2007 to improve and standardize its drilling policies and protocols.

"Lacy's departure from the Gulf of Mexico drilling unit in December 2009 coincided with other additional and extensive reshuffling of personnel in the BP Gulf of Mexico drilling unit . such that by the time of the Deepwater Horizon incident, four out of five of BP's senior drilling officials for the Gulf of Mexico had only been in their posts for a few months," according to the lawsuit."
