RE: DOE Cites Argonne LabSubcontractor for Nuclear Safety Violations

["Grimm, Lawrence" <LGrimm@ADMIN.UCLA.EDU>]

Hi all:

Let me see if I have this right:
1) A low-life employee plans to steal some scrap metal (potentially
contaminated).
2) A diferent, but intelligent, employee sees the metal at a loading dock,
recognizes there is a problem, and heads off to report the problem.
Meanwhile, the low-life takes off with the stolen goods. 
3) Management's response to the reported problem is so swift that the
low-life does not have time to unload it from his truck.

Has any regulator ever considered issueing a Notification of Praise for
responding as well as Argonne did?  By the way, I see a lot of parallels
with this incident and the University theft/contamination incident(s).
