I was not suggesting moving LANL Pit work to Pantex, but having CNS take over the work at LANL. <br /><br />This has been done at other large DOE/NNSA sites like INL, Oak Ridge, and Savannah River where work (and whole facilities) has be carved off from the main M&O contact and turned over to a separate M&O Contractor. <br /><br />The best comparable example is Oak Ridge that use to have one M&O running both Y-12 and ORNL, now it has two: CNS for Y-12 and UT-Battelle for ORNL.

They are nothing more than a storage and dismantling site. If you want to spend 100's of millions if not billions and 20+ years to build or retrofit another plutonium processing facility, then knock your socks off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-12743593693659232622016-01-29T08:09:20.671-08:002016-01-29T08:09:20.671-08:00Plutonium production is an oxymoron within the DOE...Plutonium production is an oxymoron within the DOE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-54432574802676743012016-01-29T06:05:13.878-08:002016-01-29T06:05:13.878-08:00Why doesn't NNSA turn this activity at LANL ov...Why doesn't NNSA turn this activity at LANL over to the Pantex/Y-12 contractor (Consolidated Nuclear LLC, which is Bechtel & Lockheed Martin) and let LANS (or its successor) just manage the research/science activities at LANL. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-59585715790939780222016-01-26T21:40:24.549-08:002016-01-26T21:40:24.549-08:00If LANL starts ramping up Pit prodcuction does tha...If LANL starts ramping up Pit prodcuction does that mean that the folks that were running Rocky Flats will have a chance during the rebid?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
