[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM5NTUyMTczX0ZFN0U0NjlE] Plutonium Accident in Idaho Has Resulted in Worker Complaint http://www.huntingtonnews.net/69491 INL workers Ralph Stanton and Brian Simmons say INL contractor Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA) not only created a dangerous work environment but also retaliated against the two when they raised concerns about their exposure to plutonium in a November 2011 accident that affected more than a dozen workers. Seattle attorney Jack Sheridan filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor alleging the retaliation but also that BEA downplayed the significance of the workers’ plutonium exposure, transferred them to lower level jobs and took various forms of disciplinary actions against them. Stanton and Simmons were among 16 site employees who were potentially exposed to plutonium during a Nov. 8 accident at INL’s “Zero Power Physics Reactor” facility at the Materials and Fuels Complex. The workers began to evacuate when air alarms sounded, and seven of them received external contamination on their skin. According to their complaint, Stanton and Simmons say they were asked to falsify safety procedures on a job done in October 2011. A month later the plutonium accident occurred. According to the Idaho Falls Post Register account of Thursday’s news conference, the complaint says Battelle sent the two workers to a psychological exam, gave them poor performance reviews, and withheld exposure dosage information.
