LANL contractor loses $millions due to radioactive leak

Radiation leak costs LANL contractor millions http://krqe.com/2014/12/30/radiation-leak-costs-lanl-contractor-millions/  LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (KRQE) – The contractor that runs Los Alamos National Laboratory is going to miss out on tens of millions of dollars from the federal government because of this year’s radiation leak.

The National Nuclear Security Administration finished its annual evaluation earlier this month and we’ve now learned the results.

The fee paid by the federal government has been reduced to $6.25 million.

That’s only a fraction of the $63.4 million the contractor could have earned if it had met all of its goals.
