Judge Says NNSA Must Return $20M in Reclaimed Fees to MFFF Contractor

摘要

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) must return some $20 million in fees its clawed back in 2016 from the prime contractor on the unfinished, over-budget Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF). In a series of filings since consolidated in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, CB&I AREVA MOX Services sued the NNSA in 2016, seeking some $200 million in fees and damages for the Energy Department agency’s alleged mismanagement of the project.
