Title edit
Los Alamos Study Group
Description edit
On June 1, 2006, a newly-formed corporation called Los Alamos National Security, LLC (LANS) will assume full management of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). LANS is composed of Bechtel National (a subsidiary of the Bechtel Group), the University of California, BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT, a subsidiary of McDermott International), and Washington Group International (WGI).
So far LANS has offered limited details as to how they will run the day-to-day operations of the lab; press releases from the four partners emphasize their long-standing experience as contractors in the US nuclear weapons complex. The questions of what precisely each partner will do, how they will do it, and who will be accountable remain mostly unanswered. Likewise unknown -- to us, at least -- are the other business and political interests of these companies and their senior management, and how these might affect the decisions at LANL.
As an initial foray into some of these questions we can recommend the two reports on Bechtel linked below. We cannot vouch for every detail being up-to-date, but the overall pattern is strongly suggestive of serious, long-term problems at the very core of Bechtel.
