Sturgn686:
Hello to all.  :) I'm currently taking a business ethics course and have two papers to write on the topic of my choice. One of the topics I chose was to compare the ethical climate of the nuclear industry before and after TMI. I was hoping to get some ideas for resources to turn to on the subject from the people on this web site. This is only a six page paper so I don't have to go too crazy but I could definitely use some ideas to get me started in the right direction. Thanks in advance. Rich-Wells, ME.

I don't think the Ethical climate changed at all. TMI didn't happen due to lack of ethics.

true nuff.  business will do business is still applied. some morals have creeped into the ethics issue but only because its good business.

Rad Sponge:
I agree, a better angle would be to investigate management style changes that have occurred since TMI.

The biggest systematic change was the creation of the "advisement/semi-regulalatory" body INPO and many standardizations of Human Performance issues (HU tools).

Ethics, however, were not the issue.

Already Gone:
I don't see why TMI is the focal point of your study.  It's not as though ethics were a factor in the TMI accident.  It's not as though ethics in the nuclear industry changed at that point.
If one were to identify a major change in the ethical environment, it would more likely coincide with the deregulation of the electric industry than with the TMI accident.
