Los Alamos Contract To Be Decided Soon
A UPI newswire article, via PhysOrg.com, reports that:
The fate of U.S. nuclear exploration is waiting on the Department of Energy to decide who will get a contract to operate Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Los Alamos has been run by the University of California since the lab's inception in 1943, but a series of embarrassing missteps have forced the contract with UC to be opened up for a bid, the San Francisco Chronicle reports
The National Nuclear Security Administration is debating between two bids and said it will decide around Dec. 1, although the determination could come at any time.
UC along with partners in the private sector like Bechtel National Inc., are going toe-to-toe with Lockheed Martin Corp. and their partners of various New Mexico universities, the University of Texas and other companies for a six year contract worth $79 million annually.
