Nuclear Whistleblower

Nuclear Whistleblower Ann Harris by Tyler Suiters
Ann Harris is a former employee of the Tennessee Valley Authority who raised concerns about safety at the Watts Bar nuclear plant. In this interview, she tells chief correspondent Tyler Suiters about her concerns. Harris says the safety culture at the plant does not exist. She says the plant is built on a ground fault, and the area has been subject to tremors. She says the plant is not being run safely and that workers there do not comply with the necessary policies and procedures.

She calls statements by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and industry officials that plants can be operated safely a “big lie” and that friends who work at the plant tell her about safety problems inside. She says regulators in the area are in fear of the industry, which threatens workers with the loss of their jobs if they say anything. Harris has never been through an evacuation, but she says the area is not prepared for one. She says evacuation plans are based on the idea that an accident will happen when everyone is at home, not when people are outside or enjoying themselves on the Tennessee River. She says there are no plans for elderly or disabled people. She says nuclear plants are placed in rural areas because people who live there are desperate for jobs and don't have the knowledge or skills to fight the industry.

On that morning in March 1992, the two men--both senior engineers at Northeast Utilities, which operates five nuclear plants in New England--were colleagues but not yet friends. Apart from their jobs and first names, they seemed to have little in common. Betancourt, 45, was extravagantly rebellious--beard, biker boots, ponytail sneaking out the back of his baseball cap--while Galatis, 42, was square-jawed and devout: Mr. Smith Goes Nuclear. But Galatis respected Betancourt’s expertise and knew he could count on him for straight answers...read more
