Minor was responsible for the design of many nuclear plant-safety and control systems. Bridenbaugh headed an industry group that reviewed radiation-containment safety devices. Yet, though the engineers claim to have told their superiors about their doubts, a GE spokesman insisted they had never mentioned to management "any broad concern about their work or about nuclear power...
...engineers are members of the Creative Initiative Foundation, a California-based organization that seeks to strengthen human relationships and instill in its members a reverence for life; C.I.F. members are described by one who dropped out as having "a fervor about changing the world for the better."
