CITY OF OAK RIDGE URGES NNSA TO SCRAP Y-12/PX CONSOLIDATION PLANS

摘要

The City of Oak Ridge, in comments submitted to the National Nuclear Security Administration this week, says it wants the agency to scrap its plans to consolidate the management and operating contracts at the Y-12 and Pantex nuclear weapons facilities, but the city also asked the NNSA to make changes to the draft Request for Proposals regardless of whether it continues to pursue its new contracting approach at the sites. "The City of Oak Ridge supports efficiencies in the management and operation of the NNSA facilities, including Y-12," the city said in Sept. 16 comments submitted in response to the draft Request for Proposals. "However, the City is deeply concerned that combining the management of the Y-12 National Security Complex with facilities located hundreds of miles away is unprecedented and will adversely impact the safety and security of our community."
