No other problems that would need to keep WIPP closed were identified. And the long delay in reopening WIPP is entirely due to DOE's risk aversion, bureaucratic garbage, and lack of guts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-61272486599065670362015-02-18T19:16:54.897-08:002015-02-18T19:16:54.897-08:00The initial problem (incorrect waste handling) has...The initial problem (incorrect waste handling) has already been fixed, for months.<br /><br />February 17, 2015 at 8:48 PM<br /><br /><br />Probably not, since the NMED report showed that the LANL waste had been mishandled for years. In any event, for the past year, not much has moved, so it is highly doubtful that the problem has been fixed. If anything, it was made worse by LANL shipping some waste to Texas for temporary storage until WIPP reopens. Now that looks to be five years in the future, which greatly extends the temporary term.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-5887487089604649302015-02-18T03:28:55.423-08:002015-02-18T03:28:55.423-08:00LANL QA at it's Best!!!LANL QA at it's Best!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-8566947837810640882015-02-17T20:48:03.804-08:002015-02-17T20:48:03.804-08:00"...but "clean it up, learn the lesson, ..."...but "clean it up, learn the lesson, and get on with the job" isn't part of DOE's culture."<br /><br />Obviously being able to know the difference between "inorganic" and "an organic" isn't part of LANL's culture.<br /><br />February 16, 2015 at 2:24 PM<br /><br />Great attempt at diversion from the real problem.

The simple error of having a note taker that was ignorant of high school chemistry may be the start of the failure; however, the culture of having multiple layers of management that did not catch the error is the root cause.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-74350300715803472872015-02-16T21:30:24.734-08:002015-02-16T21:30:24.734-08:00as they make me sick.

It is all about profit baby, PBIs, get it done, do not think about it, make it pithy, feel it in the gut, on the spot, just like Microsoft. It needs to be stated in an 30 seconds or less in elevator, just like any other fast passed six-sigmaa organization. We need to move product and to move it fast! You either lead , follow, or get the hell out of they way. Suppperrrr leeeene sixxx-sigmnmaaa blaaaaack beeelt!!!! FY. You get it or you need to leave the organization, pronto!
