According to the newest reports, the now fired operator did report the conduction of contaminated lye from a higher chamber into the lower chambers 2 1/2 years ago - but the Lower Saxony environment ministry did nothing.

I wonder if this was incompetence/irresponsibility (the report was a single half-sentence whose significance may have evaded its reader, was it read at all) or cover-up from a nuclear-friendly CDU government (our conservative man in Lower Saxony, what do you say?)
