Nuclear Watch New Mexico's bid to run Los Alamos National Laboratory

Nuclear Watch New Mexico (www.nukewatch.org) released its joint bid with Tri-Valley CAREs to be the next manager of Los Alamos National Laboratory. Both groups have been involved with numerous activist works involving environmental and worker safety at the lab. LANL's management contract is up for bid for the first time in the lab's history. The University of California, which has run the lab since its 1943 inception, has teamed up with Bechtel, BWX Technologies and Washington Group International to submit a bid. Lockheed Martin and The University of Texas are in the other contending group. Will Nuke Watch and Tri-Valley get serious consideration from The Department of Energy and The National Nuclear Security Administration? Maybe not. But their bid also is a testament of criticism to the nation's nuclear policies and, as such, is a unique and powerful piece of political protest. Plus, it's all out there for the public to read--unlike the other proposals. (Julia Goldberg)

Item of note: Bechtel has teamed with the University of California in a bid to run Los Alamos National Laboratory, supposedly providing the corporate expertise in the partnership. Check out Waste Mismanagement to get a good understanding of how Bechtel manages to make major profits, via tax payers money, while doing a shoddy job managing Department of Energy projects.
