Bias tag

edit

"Exemplary" and "respectful" and "threats" are all biased words, and this is one of the least-balanced articles I have ever seen. Simesa (talk) 02:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC).Reply

I have added a tag to have it looked at for neutrality. It also appears very imbalanced to me. For example, this line -- which reiterates another comment in the fourth sentence of the first paragraph: "Lessons from history tell us that these pressures will most likely lead to a "schedule over safety" culture at some plants, and nuclear workers may be pressured to "cut corners and overlook safety problems in the interest of getting and keeping plants online and profits flowing to shareholders". "tell us" - "most likely lead to" "may be pressured to" ... Wow. The author(s) didn't even try to balance the article! 66.102.16.25 (talk) 15:30, 22 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Look at this part. "For three years, Arnold Gundersen received harassing phone calls in the middle of the night and he became concerned about his family's safety. He was blacklisted, harassed, and fired for doing what he thought was right." First, these are unsubstantiated claims, and second, the "doing what he though was right" is clearly biased language. It makes him sound like Robin Hood. Snookumz (talk) 17:42, 12 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have now used more careful wording, substantiated by reliable NYT source, and removed the tag. Johnfos (talk) 22:06, 12 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
I concur that it's better now. Snookumz (talk) 03:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

"United States" section

edit

I'm removing the section. This article is about the GE Three, specifically, not other aspects of nuclear power or nuclear politics. Even if it were related, the source would not qualify as RS. As of now it's just soap boxingNoformation (talk) 06:48, 16 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Also deleted...

This: "A book chapter which discusses the whistleblowing, written by Vivian Weil, was published in 1983 as "The Browns Ferry Case" in Engineering Professionalism and Ethics."

Not sure why this was in here either. Noformation (talk) 06:54, 16 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Another nuclear whitleblowers

edit

I think it would be fine another article about whistleblowing about radioactive isotopes, but not in nuclear power, in Nuclear medicine for example. 83.41.237.201 (talk) 09:17, 15 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
