The NRC confuses following the rules, with doing what is best for the USA.
They should paid until the lump goes through snake. But what the hell, we are all powerless as hell as this.

Clashing bureaus By ANDREW LERSTEN - HP Staff Writer The Herald-Palladium | 0 comments
COVERT — In November the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration ruled that two Palisades nuclear power plant security supervisors were wrongfully terminated in 2013.
But the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission also investigated the allegations and reached a different conclusion.
On Thursday it sent Palisades’ owner Entergy a letter stating it could not substantiate that the men were discriminated against and, in turn, wrongfully terminated.
The new information is consistent with the NRC’s original investigation from 2013. The NRC reopened the investigation last year after receiving additional information requiring follow-up, the NRC stated.
Entergy is appealing the OSHA ruling.
Meanwhile, NRC officials told Entergy they are concerned the OSHA ruling may affect the willingness of plant employees to raise safety and security issues.
The NRC is asking Entergy to submit its plans on things it is or will do to address the possible adverse impact of the OSHA ruling, in the next 30 days.
OSHA ruled that Chris Mikusko and Roland Ruby are due back wages with interest, and ordered Palisades’ owner Entergy to reinstate their jobs.
In addition, the ruling ordered Entergy to pay the men $5,000 each in compensatory damages, and to pay their attorney fees.
Regarding the men’s termination, they alleged that they were fired after raising concerns about a fellow security supervisor who was allegedly working without proper firearms qualifications. OSHA agreed there was evidence of their claim.
Palisades is along Lake Michigan in Covert Township.
