Los Alamos cleanup to cost twice DOE's estimate -- N.M.

摘要

New Mexico's Environment Department said it could cost $4 billion over 10 years to clean up Los Alamos National Laboratory. The figure is twice the amount the Department of Energy proposed last week. The state released a consent order in March dictating cleanup objectives. The previous order included a now-missed December 2015 decontamination deadline. New Mexico Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn said the new document has flexible targets that will facilitate faster cleanup.
