Karen Silkwood died on this day nearly forty years ago.  Her death was ruled an accident, but there was controversy surrounding her.  I didn’t want to let this day go by without putting her story out there.  Her story highlighted another aspect of the nuclear industry–manufacturing.  As always, when there is a profit to be made, corners are cut to obtain the biggest profit.

Karen was asking questions and that is never a popular with manufacturers who cut corners on safety.

I hope she is at peace.
