NRC fines owner of nuclear plant
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is fining the Southern California Edison utility $116,000 for violations in its handling of nuclear canisters at the shuttered San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
The decision announced Monday in an online town hall meeting involves the transfer of radioactive nuclear waste containers from cooling pools to safer bunkers.
The violations were a failure to have a backup system in case a fuel canister was dropped and failure to notify the commission within 24 hours after a canister was at risk of being dropped into an 18-foot-deep (5.5-meter-deep) bunker rather than being lowered.
The Orange County Register reports Southern California Edison can dispute the fine but issued a statement indicating it would accept the penalty, saying the event should not have happened and takes full responsibility.
Deadly crash brings insurance lawsuit
An insurance company is suing a business whose chief executive was flying a plane that crashed in Georgia, killing him and three passengers.
Federal court records show Zurich American Insurance Co. of Illinois is suing Sunshine International Corp. in relation to a plane crash that killed pilot Wei Chen and three business associates in Atlanta in December.
Chen was a Memphis resident and CEO of Sunshine, which distributes Chinese construction and industrial equipment.
Zurich claims Sunshine answered “no” when asked if it owned or operated aircraft on a workers’ compensation coverage application. The lawsuit claims a Sunshine subsidiary, Chen Aircraft, owned the plane.
Zurich wants the court to decide if the application is void and whether another insurance company that helped Sunshine with its application is actually liable for claims.
