a federal judge this week rejected arguments by Florida Power & Light Co. and three related companies in a dispute with a nuclear-energy trade group about access to a database used to help screen workers at nuclear power plants.
The database is administered by the Nuclear Energy Institute, with nuclear-plant operators able to get information about workers.
dispute began early this year when NextEra Energy Inc., the parent of FPL and the related companies, decided to drop membership in the Nuclear Energy Institute. The trade group said the move would lead to the NextEra companies losing access to the worker-screening database, which is known as the Personnel Access Data System, or PADS. The NextEra companies filed the lawsuit arguing they shouldn't be cut off from the database.
However, U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on Tuesday ruled in favor of the Nuclear Energy Institute, rejecting arguments that the group breached an agreement about participation in the system.
"I conclude as a matter of law that the agreement unambiguously limits PADS participation to current NEI members," Middlebrooks wrote. "As such, defendant's (the Nuclear Energy Institute's) termination of plaintiffs' access to PADS was not a breach of any provision of the agreement."
funny next era just thought they should have access to the database without paying for it....I've worked for them before sounds just like them. was at Grand Gulf recently and they were doing a whole bunch of extra training because they didn't have access to pads (didn't want to pay for it). it was a cf.
It had ZERO to do with Entergy not willing to pay for it. It had everything to do with certain NEI policies. I don't care one way or the other but it had zero to do with cost.
Well then all the training people there lied.

Nothing has ZERO to do with cost. If it were free, they would still have access to it.
PERHAPS cost wasn't the LEADING factor...
Cost wasnt a factor at all.
So if it cost zero dollars then entergy still wouldn't be using it? Really?

OBTW the Sister would be ticked off about that missin' apostrophe on her poster too!!!!
oh yeah almost forgot,..... (sic) for beercourt,...
Nobody said Entergy was bad...just they didn't want to pay for pads for whatever reason and it threw the whole training dept into a tizzy IMHO..I was there watching it. Heck I don't blame them if it was too expensive for what they were getting....but saying money had NOTHING to do with it is silly. Of course it had SOMETHING to do with it. Calling the training dept liars was ehhh what do you call...sarcasm? TVA always says the exact opposite of what everybody else says..like he is some wizard or something and everyone else is an idiot. Even when he has been blatantly proven wrong he still says it...but we can all go back and read his posts. It's right there in black and white.

As much as I hate to agree with TVA... this is about NEI policies and how NEE (and Entergy) felt about them. They withdrew over 'philosophical' differences. Losing access to PADS is fallout from the withdrawal.
well I'm sure TVA is right sometimes...but he has been wrong or half wrong so much it is hard to take him at face value when other people are saying something different. assuming there was a good reason multiple nuclear plants sued them. all the training people at GG were constantly complaining about the lack of PADS and how Entergy was being cheap. assumed there was something to it.
