Washington Public Power Supply System nuclear-project controversy
Ebasco's involvement in engineering work connected with the Washington Public Power Supply System's failed nuclear-reactor program brought the company into a major public and legal controversy. The project's financial collapse, cancellations, and subsequent litigation occurred amid wider concern over nuclear safety and escalating construction costs.
