US officials investigate deception at nuclear factory – More Shaw shenanigans !

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Office of Investigations has started the investigation at Shaw Modular Solutions facility in the US city of Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Some workers at the facility have already admitted that they entered the identification codes for other workers while recording who assembled parts.
The investigation may also find that the manufacturer produced defective or unsafe parts slated for use in two nuclear power plants – Plant Vogtle in Georgia and Plant Summer in South Carolina.
The factory has been hit recently with a number of other charges including whistleblower complaints, a failure to meet production schedules, and difficulty in the quality control process.

Editors note:

Concerning The Shaw Group that is mentioned above, it reminds me of another discussion concerning the connection with the Shaw Group and Texas Brine. The below is a culmination of links and findings concerning this from the Enenews comments section.

It is also worth noting on the point of companies covering their tracks on the web, that Shaw has now merged with CB and I and the the above Shaw nuclear group is now absent on the web and empty of activity on their Face book pages. Also, both are big players in the military and government spending areas. A perfect match!  [Arclight2011]

heres an odd link from Bayer`s 2010 annual report

it shows texas brine on the list but it shows a “0” as percentage of interest.. the only sale.. everything else they held a +50 percent holding except for a 45 percent stake in one of their dubai companies (dubai hardselling?)

just thought i would post it here in case it was useful

From a “chamber of commerce” type of site praising “big oil” in Baytown, Texas.

“Over the last ten years, Bayer Corporation has invested over $1.3 billion, by far the single largest capital investment within Bayer worldwide. Guest facilities (Hexion (Borden), Calpine Construction Finance Corporation (Baytown Energy Center), First Chemical, El Dorado Nitrogen, and Texas Brine) have been invited to join Bayer’s industrial park site to provide strategic raw materials and energy for Bayer’s consumption.”

only texas brine is listed on the 2011 report not the others..?? interesting

I’m puzzled that Bayer would divest itself of Texas Brine at all (even regardless of timing). I keep finding the two names linked as a poster child of “Texas Industries of the Future”. For example:

“The Baytown Industrial Park is the flagship site for Bayer MaterialScience LLC in the
NAFTA region. Bayer MaterialScience is the chemical manufacturing arm of Bayer AG.
The Park sits on 1500 acres in Chambers County near Baytown and is 35% developed.
The site is home to five Bayer sub-groups: polycarbonate, coatings and colorants,
polyurethane, organics, and inorganics.

The site has grown more than 10-fold since 1971, when the first polyurethanes unit
started up. Today, the site is a thriving industrial park site anchored by Bayer
MaterialScience LLC and Bayer Technology Services. The site also hosts LANXESS
Corporation, Borden Chemical, El Dorado Nitrogen, First Chemical Texas, Texas Brine,
and the Calpine Baytown Energy Center.”

One wonders why they would break up this relationship, which your find suggests they have done.

“…it shows texas brine on the list but it shows a “0” as percentage of interest…”

The 2011 Scope of Consolidation Report shows the same thing: 0% ownership interest for financial reporting purposes. It will always show 0% on Bayer’s financial statements, but it’s just some accounting trickery.

Texas Brine is a Special Purpose Entity subsidiary of Bayer. Bayer, for all practical purposes, totally controls Texas Brine.

No wonder they can afford Shaw.

n the 2009 report there are very few listed companies but in the 2010 texas brine is listed but again it is the only one with a zero share listed

have they been whitewashing the web??
