Nuclear Safety and Health: Nonconforming Products Are a Governmentwide Problem.

Abstract

My testimony today is based on our October 1990 report, Nuclear Safety and Health: Counterfeit and Substandard Products Are a Governmentwide Concern. The full extent of the use of nonconforming products is unknown. However, large and small companies, both foreign and domestic have sold nonconforming products, including counterfeit and substandard parts, to commercial nuclear power plants and federal agencies and their contractors. These nonconforming products can fail and result in death or injury, as well as additional costs to the government.
