Current Projects

The Insider Threat and Disgruntled Nuclear Workers

back to Projects List | back to VAT Home

Disgruntled nuclear workers represent potentially serious safety, security, espionage, and proliferation hazards. Much attention has been focused on so-called “disgruntled” Russian nuclear workers, but American nuclear workers are probably more likely to be disgruntled and may actually represent a greater risk. Two of the best ways to minimize disgruntlement is to have effective employee complaint resolution processes, and to protect whistleblowers. Few U.S. nuclear facilities appear to do these things.
