University of California Gets Los Alamos Contract

An AP newswire article by Heather Clark, via The Austin American-Statesman, reports that:

The University of California has retained the contract to manage the troubled Los Alamos National Laboratory, The Associated Press learned Wednesday.

The contract to run the nation's pre-eminent nuclear lab had gone out to bid earlier this year for the first time in the lab's 63-year history.

A government official in a position to know the results of the competition for the contract told the AP that UC had prevailed. The university will jointly manage the seven-year contract with Bechtel Corp.
