Call to Action! Southern Cal Edison will hold another of its "Inside SONGS" open house. This is a great opportunity to talk to representatives from the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) and ask them the hard questions! Southern California Edison "Inside SONGS" Open House Thursday, March 21, 2013 4:30 p.m .to 7:30 p.m. Oceanside Public Library 330 North Coast Highway Oceanside, CA SCE info: www.songscommunity.com - - - Comments: Martha Sullivan <https://www.facebook.com/martha.sullivan.1958>: HOW can we trust SoCal Edison after all its intentional avoidance of regulatory and public scrutiny? On top of this dismal track record, there's THIS: SoCal Edison's "Chief Nuclear Officer" and Sr. Vice President in charge of San Onofre was "site vice president" of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Lycoming, New York before being hired by SoCal Edison in late 2010. http://www.electricenergyonline.com/?page=show_news&id=143602 Dietrich took over the FitzPatrick Plant in May 2006. http://oswegocountybusiness.com/index.php?a=1631 In Sept. 2011, the Syracuse Post-Standard reported: "A series of investigations at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Scriba has resulted in four workers being fired and 34 being disciplined, a spokeswoman for the plant owner said Thursday. Meanwhile, federal prosecutors announced that one of the fired workers has pleaded guilty to falsifying tests of safety equipment at the plant." http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/09/4_fired_34_disciplined_at_jame.html . The records falsification happened on Dietrich's watch: "Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Benedict said that on 32 documented occasions between 2006 and 2009, McCarrick falsely claimed he had completed such tests. Benedict said the incidents were investigated by special agents from the NRC." http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/09/4_fired_34_disciplined_at_jame.html . Per the above news story from the Oswego County Business Magazine (http://oswegocountybusiness.com/index.php?a=1631 ), before Dietrich's tenure at the Fitzpatrick Plant, he was General Manager, Plant Operations at Pilgrim Nuclear Station, another troubled Entergy plant located in Massachusetts. He joined Entergy in 1991 at Arkansas Nuclear One in Russellville, AR, where he held positions in operations and as maintenance manager. In 2000, Dietrich became director of strategic planning for deregulation and merger activities at Entergy Corporation? s headquarters in New Orleans. Dietrich is a US Naval Academy graduate (Naval Architecture) and served 5 years in the Navy Surface Nuclear Power Program (NOT subs); has an MBA from Tulane (no doubt earned while at Entergy HQs). He looks like a "fixer" to me, all the plants he's run since his stint as Director of Strategic Planning for Entergy are troubled plants (FitzPatrick is rumored to be the next one Entergy closes after Kewaunee, and Pilgrim has been the object of strong opposition for decades, including most recently litigation by the MA Attorney General.) Dietrich is not a "tech guy" -- not a nuclear scientist nor engineer, but a business manager. ### ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
