Someone help me out here.....since when does gluing a Bolt Head to a sheared bolt shank constitute an acceptable engineering practice in the UK....in ANY APPLICATION?
As it involved a nuclear power plant on a Boomer.....a national asset worth Billions included a major part of the Nuclear Deterrent of Great Britain.....not to mention the Lives of the Crew.....why is there but a single unified outcry for some Heads on a Pikes?
Tecumseh knows what he is talking about but even that is a whole different kettle of fish compared to the Submarine debacle.
Tragic as losing a single Life is due to shoddy maintenance.....potentially losing a Boomer and causing a nuclear disaster to include the loss of its nuclear tipped missiles and over a hundred Lives of the Crew alone.....the two incidents are orders of magnitude apart in the potential for loss.
Or am I missing something here?
A Life was lost in the Cunningham Tragedy because the failure was not caught or was caught and covered up. Was any punishment meted out as a result?
The Submarine fault was found and acted upon thus preventing a very serious situation from happening. Shall there be any punishment meted out?
