What are the insurance payouts like when plants like these are destroyed? Could those be manipulated to balance the risk motives for omitting or delaying mitigations when warnings signs appear? Or would that just encourage poor record keeping and falsifications?

Ideally, they want the plant running as much as possible. I think that's what motivated them to delay mitigations.
