What is ethics?
“The rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc.” [1]

![Page 4: Professional and Ethical Responsibility](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/568165cb550346895dd8d942/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How does that relate to a professional environment? Respecting others’ intellectual
property by giving due credit. Avoiding conflicts of interest. Rejecting bribery. Honesty and realism in stating
claims and estimates. Etc.

Ethical Implications?
Should he have blown the whistle? Should he have placed the welfare of
others over his career? Did the Energy Department manage
the concern properly? Should the Defense Nuclear Facilities
Safety Board have gotten involved?
