LANL win again!!!!!!!
Hell ya, cowboys pull through as they always do, UC knows how to do it!.
So here is what is not in this article. First, we understand that Lyndsey Graham is meeting with the President this week to specifically discuss the MOX plant. Yes he is still arguing to complete it. Second, it has been communicated that the “bait-and-switch” plans of the NNSA to build pits in the unfinished MOX plant has tripled in cost. The new number is amazing close to the actual costs to finish the MOX plant. And third, the Pu sustainment budget at Los Alamos was reduced by $100 million dollars to send that money to Savannah River. The ability to make 30, 50, or even 80 pits per year, as mandated by Congress in 2030 just became yet another pipe dream. Wait until the New Mexico Congressional delegation finds out about that while the planning to dump 34 metric tons of good weapons grade plutonium into WIPP heats up...
What is NNSA smoking since marajuana became legal in DC?
The prospect of dumping over 34 metric tons of plutonium into WIPP should concern all New Mexicans. That is NOT what WIPP was designed for. That is not what WIPP was permitted for. That is not what WIPP was sold as when the people of New Mexico agreed to take. And yet, the senator from South Carolina laments about the termination of MOX and demands that the plutonium be removed from his state. Somehow, Savannah River still gets over $200 million a year to safely store the plutonium, is demanding jobs for a site that should be shut down, and is now trying to take jobs away from New Mexico.
Another billions of dollars wasted by the DOE. The most wasteful government agency per capita
