The NRC wants licensees to "do what they say, not what they
do". Around the time of my improper retaliation firing, region 4's Regional Administrator was reportedly involved
in both my case and also actively supported fining the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant for their "inappropriate firing"
of a whistleblower female contractor security officer. Our two cases were very close in details. So as a result, the
Regional Administrator wanted industry to "do what they say, but not necessarily do what they do".
It was reported that Callaway Plant management was very quick to contact
the NRC, region 4 officials, under the Regional Administrator, and point out the similarity between their contract female
security officer and my case. My story had been recently featured in an article by the very talented and widely
read and respected journalist Jenny Weil of Inside the NRC. Our two cases were very similar, and yet the NRC and Regional
Administrator felt their action taken against me was fine for the NRC, and yet they fined the Callaway Plant officials over
$50,000.00 for Callaway's "serious infraction of the law". Can you see the NRC and Region 4's Regional Administrators illogic
as clearly as I can? Of course you can.
Ask yourself the question. Why is it that you,
and Callaway Officials, and I can all see that the NRC Regional Administrator planned, in my opinion and to my belief, to
get away with doing to me what they had just penalized Callaway Nuclear Power Plant for doing to that poor female contractor
security officer? I, Ron Bath, being a contractor employee, was fired in retaliation for turning in the NRC Regional
Administrator's staff employees for criminal conduct. The Callaway contractor employee, being a contractor female
security officer, at the Calloway Plant was fired in retaliation for turning in a popular male security guard for a security
violation, which is criminal conduct.
Conclusion: The NRC must have felt that even though
they could get away with what they had just done to me, they could sit in judgment of their licensee the Callaway plant and
fine them over $50,000.00 for their version of the same despicable act. You and I can see that the NRC and Callaway both
did the same thing. The difference was that the NRC and Regional Administrator must have felt, in my opinion and
belief, righteous enough to get away with it, but didn't want Callaway to do so.
It seems to me like "a man of vision" would have seen this matter
more clearly for what it really was. A case of "Do What We Say, Not What We Do"!
And it was all so easily done by applying the NRC's Secret Double
Standard.
I wonder what the NRC and Region 4's Regional Administrator did with
all that money? Gee if all of us were required to play by the same rules, the money would have doubled from $50,000.00
to $100,000.00. Oh, I forgot... The NRC doesn't play by the same rules as the rest of us. The NRC didn't fine themselves
for what they did to me, Ron Bath, did they? No they didn't.
Guess what? Both then and now, the NRC officials won't
admit guilt for what they did to me. They didn't pay a fine either, like the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant was forced
to do. I guess they must be too busy taking other peoples money and hiding behind loopholes.
