The ruling party, Keeling, or Wooten

The authoritarian ruling party of Chadsia has created an environment for a broken safety culture within the energy industry. Safety regulations are ignored for the sake of efficiency, problems are hidden out of fear, and mistrust pervades the various ranks. Local party chief Xan Keeling is eager to record a new year of high output from his province in hopes of gaining a promotion. Near the end of the year, local nuclear plant manager Len Wooten notes unusual activity and suspects one of the reactors is malfunctioning. Keeling, worried at reducing output without air-tight evidence, coerces Wooten to shut down any concerns about a malfunctioning reactor. Wooten caves out of fear. The plant melts down, causing an historic nuclear disaster. Who is most at fault: the ruling party, Keeling, or Wooten? Why? Which vices did each of them exhibit?
