Another success story brought to you by NNSA!

Anonymously contributed: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another success story brought to you by NNSA in collaboration with B&W and Bechtel. Same players who are also so important to the LLNLs. It is sad that we are run by engineering companies, who after spending 500 M$ in designing a facility, still come 13 feet short in height. Maybe we can donate a few tape measures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://blogs.knoxnews.com/munger/2012/10/eschenberg-redesigning-upf-now.html

The current estimated cost range is $4.2 billion to $6.5 billion.

"There will be a cost impact for raising the height of the building," Eschenberg said. "Today I do not know what that cost impact will be."

Unbelievable! These guys are like criminal shake-down artists. The Mafia isn't this bad!

Heckavajob, NNSA and Bechtel/BWXT. Time to hand out more awards to the Y-12 UPF project managers, no doubt.
