More control over LANL and SNL

Senators want DNFSB to have more control over LANL and SNL operations


New Mexico’s U.S. senators are pushing for language to be included in a major defense spending bill that they say would bolster safety at national laboratories in the state.

Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich have proposed that the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board report to Congress each year on what additional resources are needed to ensure that operations at Sandia and Los Alamos labs are safe.

The independent oversight panel found earlier this year that many of the safety systems in place at Los Alamos date to the 1970s and will need to be upgrading to meet future demands.

Those two Senators were suckered by the idiots in the DNFSB. Dominici is already rolling over in his grave.

An "annual report" from DNFSB?? What a joke. Those fools can't even remember what they did or saw yesterday. Anything deserving to be in an annual report to Congress will have already destroyed the Lab and killed hundreds before the due date comes around.

When will we learn that "more oversight" or more bureaucracy NEVER fixes anything?

That is what we get for electing fools as Senators.

The DNFSB has made nothing safer, just much, much more expensive.

The DNFSB should have been zeroed out decades ago. They are worthless, simple-minded, bureaucrats who make their living recommending signage at nuclear facilities (most of which don't do any nuclear work thanks to the idiots on the board). Shame on the Senators from New Mexico.
