Bechtel causes $2B nuclear waste disaster at WIPP while managing LANL, then Bechtel wins contract to manage WIPP, maybe they have a point? Only DOE could select them as the winning bidder. Funny, maybe DOE has a morbid sense of irony? Hah.

Also, Kimberly Lebak has emerged from NNSA “retirement” and “will oversee the $1.4 billion Los Alamos Legacy Cleanup Contract for DOE as president and general manager of Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos”. LANS accidents, shipping plutonium by air, the 2 billion dollar WIPP accident, and revolving doors, all the makings of a Netflix mini-series.

Excuse me but WIPP was done by Cowboy scientists. That is the story Bechtel goes with.

Netflix might be too big a step. Maybe the story can be told at "The Sante Fe Opera" first. At least they could count on the regular patrons.

Bechtel is well rooted in Washington, DC ($$$), and few so called "investigative reporters" will dare ask any critical questions about Bechtel operations (questions not on a Bechtel distributed news flyer) for fear of defamation lawsuits. This is where we are folks.
