Abstract
I am a licensed professional engineer (P.E.), nuclear safety engineer, and "eight-time prevailing and still aggrieved" whistleblower in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). I am also a member of ASA. Is there a clear nexus between being a member of ASA and being willing to risk and suffer to uphold and defend a profession's code of ethics in one's employment? If so, does ASA have a collective responsibility in such a situation and how can it be discharged?
