Los Alamos Manager’s (aka LANS) Performance on Plutonium Project Criticized
By John Fleck / Journal Staff Writer on Wed, Apr 4, 2012
The contractor team that managers Los Alamos National Laboratory for the federal government did a poor job of managing the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Replacement Nuclear Facility, a proposed plutonium lab that the federal government said this year it was deferring indefinitely because of cost overruns.
In its annual “Performance Evaluation Report” on the lab’s management, the National Nuclear Security Administration said the lab’s management failed to “effectively manage CMRR NF/SFE progress in support of NNSA strategic objectives”.
NNSA made the Performance Evaluation Report public this week amid a battering, including litigation, over the agency’s policy of keeping its contractor performance evaluations secret.
Here’s the document. I’ll have more in tomorrow’s newspaper (scroll down for a direct download if you don’t want to use Scribd):

DOE/NNSA is hiding the truth about what is going on at their newly "privatized" weapon labs. Sadly, few care.
How could something like this poor performance report happen? I'm shocked!
