Introduction Throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s‚ utility industries struggled to manage their nuclear power plant construction prudently in the public eye. Throughout this era‚ litigation chastised the mismanaged organizations to the tune of billions of dollars. In this same era‚ Arab countries declared an oil embargo in the United States‚ oil prices soared and long lines at the gas pumps reflected the nation’s first fuel shortage since World War II. These events fast tracked the immediate need
