This new story, on top of the recent near-fatal LANCE electrical accident, should factor heavily in any contract considerations.

The reason LANS self reports is that they cannot be sued. "Our beliefs our values"

Now McMillan has the DOE manager (Kim Dave Lebak) snookered. Will Congress please come in and shut this place down, it's being run like the Chicago mob ala Corruption and deception.
"An extensive review at one of the nation’s premier federal laboratories has turned up violations in how the lab handled hundreds of containers of radioactive waste over the past decade.
The latest revelations are on top of the permit violations Los Alamos National Laboratory first reported last year in the wake of a radiation release at the federal government’s underground nuclear waste dump in southern New Mexico."

According to the "Investigation Sought" topic/article, a former LLNS employee filed a DOE whistleblower complaint and had documents suggesting LLNS and the NNSA Livermore Field Office had "administratively fused together". Kim Davis Lebak was the NNSA Livermore Field Office Manager at the time, then she transferred to become the NNSA Los Alamos Field Office Manager. Do you really think Kim Davis Lebak was "snookered" by McMillan?
LANL and the violations. That's an oxymoron that LANS has branded LANL with. In fact, that would have a made a fine "purpose statement".

I'm still confused. Which is it, McMillan? Excellence or Expertise?
And that part about Belief? Is LANS now promoting some weird, new corporate religion?
I'm really beginning to wonder if McMillan isn't a Scientologist. He behaves like one.

I think you mean you wonder if he is, not isn't. Unless you assumed he was but are now uncertain. Ain't English wonderful?
