Washington Public Power Supply Systems (WPPSS) 1979-1984 and undated

Scope and content:

Contains correspondence, memoranda, reports, notes, meeting packets, clippings, and articles. The WPPSS is a Pacific Northwest utilities company. The primary issue discussed is the company's financial troubles, especially of the company's nuclear reactor the Washington Nuclear Plant-2. The series represents the methodical audit of the entire design and construction processes conducted by in-house teams. Their purpose was to provide WPPSS and others with the best assurance attainable that the design fulfills all that is required of it and that what was designed has been faithfully preserved in construction. Roddis worked on the independent review team which served to evaluate and criticize the procedures, scope, and conduct of the in-house effort, point out inadequacies, recommend improvements and express confidence in results.
