DOE Estimates Lower Cost for Los Alamos Clean Up Bill; Still $2.9 Billion

摘要

The federal government now estimates that it will cost $2.9 billion through the year 2035 to clean up the decades of radioactive and hazardous waste left over from nuclear weapons work at Los Alamos National Laboratory. That's on top of $3.2 billion already spent on cleanup work at LANL, according a presentation made to the Northern New Mexico Citizens Advisory Board, established by the Department of Energy to provide input on environmental issues at Los Alamos.
