[RE-wrenches] Target fire

[Darryl Thayer]

I keep thinking had the installer routinely megohmed the ground and the "hot" they would have known a ground fault existed, and would have repaired.  The event would have not happened.  Then the short on the conduit would have triped the ground fault detector, and lead to a repair.  No fire.  
 
Again it is installers with knowledge, tools  and skills.

"Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!"
