Response
Historic
Exercise special care when making decisions during important post vacancies
Recommendation
That when an important post is vacant special care should be exercised when decisions have to be taken which would normally be taken by or on the advice of the holder of the vacant post. This, in the present instance, would have involved the reference by senior management to Mr Hughes of the problems created by the defect in Reactor No. 5 and the design of the by-pass.
