Injuries Hidden at TVA Nuclear Sites to Obtain Over $2.5 Million in Safety Bonuses
Following a 12-day trial in U.S. District Court, a jury convicted the former Shaw Group Safety Manager, 55, of eight counts of major fraud against the United States. Sentencing is set for 2:00 p.m., Feb. 21, 2013, in U.S. District Court in Chattanooga. He faces a sentence of up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $1,000,0000 for each offense. The jury heard evidence that as the safety manager for the Shaw Group (formerly Stone & Webster Construction), at Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) Brown’s Ferry Nuclear Site in Athens, Ala., provided false and misleading information about injuries at that facility as well at TVA’s Sequoyah Nuclear Site in Soddy Daisy, Tenn., and TVA’s Watts Bar Nuclear Site near Spring City, Tenn.
