WIPP's Nuclear Waste Partnership Awarded nearly $12 Million in Fees and Performance Pay

摘要

The contractor that manages the federal government's underground nuclear waste repository is being awarded nearly $12 million in fees and performance pay for work done while the troubled facility moves toward resuming operations following a radiation leak more than two years ago. Documents released by the U.S. Energy Department show Nuclear Waste Partnership - which runs the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in southern New Mexico -earned about 85 percent of the total awards that were up for grabs for the last fiscal year.
