  1. >Japan Steel Works is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of rotor shafts used in power plant turbines.

    >Company officials admitted that fraudulent testing practices had been in place for about 24 years until February. But they also added they have not confirmed any specific problems arising from it related to product quality or functioning. They did not disclose the names of the companies the rotor shafts were sold to.

    Pretty annoying to think multiple generations of power plants across the world may have their lifetime expectancy shortened due to deficiencies not found during testing.
