"411" about Chernobyl

Ralph Nader's "411" about

Chernobyl

The Navy never let me be a whistleblower.
Even the Alarm company in 1972 Indianapolis
was a good addition to my resume after my boss told me,
"We are not putting Stearns in jail."


In 1978 INTeL, the sister ships of captured spy ship -- USS Pueblo -- were being upconverted from burn barrels and shredders to sattelite communication. The Navy had a large backlog of orders for INTeL's memory chips to make all the new computers work. There is an Admiar at Stanford that it was me that cleared their backorders of INTel's memory chips. That is why the Navy had me there, but the Navy did not take care of its own in 1978 at INTeL.


I became a Honeywell Biomedical Electronics Technician in 15 hospitals in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Florida, so the Pentagon could not lie about my productivity. There are no National Defense Secrets some paid-off Federal Judge can sign a nasty court order keeping a secret something that does not need to be a secret. Many nurses, doctors, hospital engineers, and electricians saw me perform electronic duties only a "Senior Electronics Technician" can perform.


I even saved one Hospital Engineer about a $10,000 consultation or re-work contract when the original electrical contractor for the new 20-bed Pediatrics Wrd addition to an existing 120-bed hospital had electrical outlets that made my Honeywell tester's red warning light glow its brightest. The outlets in the hallway worked. So my tester was working as it should. I took a scrap piece of paper. And I drew an eectrical diagram that unconfused the Hospital Engineer so his electricians could properly wire in the 440-volt AC step down transformer in the new transformer vault -- saving that hospital months of not being able to use their new "PEDE Ward", and my electrical diagram allowed the hospital's electricians to correct the expensive contractor's mistake.
