Indian Point Nuke Plant Manager Accused Of Faking Fuel Test


ipnrA former supervisor at a New York nuclear plant has been accused of faking records to hide the contamination of fuel for backup generators.

The U.S. attorney’s office says Daniel Wilson was arrested Tuesday for violating rules of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

It says Wilson was chemistry manager at the Indian Point plant in February 2011 when diesel fuel for emergency generators was found to contain excessive particulate matter.

The complaint says Wilson faked a re-test of the fuel in 2012 to show an acceptable level of particulates. It says he then lied about what he had done.

A call to Wilson’s attorney was not immediately returned.

The NRC said there was no evidence the misconduct went beyond Wilson.

If convicted, Wilson could be sentenced to seven years in prison.
