Say DOE Will
Seek Los Alamos Bidding
The
Associated Press
The
Energy Department will take competitive bids for the
contract to run Los Alamos National Laboratory for the
first time in the history of the nuclear weapons lab,
congressional sources said today. The decision, expected
to be announced by Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham
this afternoon, follows a string of high-profile management
breakdowns. Congressional aides familiar with the decision
said Abraham would announce that the contract would
be opened for bidding when it lapses in September 2005,
but would not be terminated early. Full
story.
Tomorrow
morning, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce's
Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations will hold
the third in a series of hearings regarding Los Alamos.
Among those expected to testify are UC President Richard
Atkinson, Senior Vice President Bruce Darling, Auditor
Patrick Reed and Vice President Anne Broome. A live
web broadcast of the hearing beginning at 6:30 a.m.
can be accessed here. |

Madia, director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and president
of UT-Battelle, announced he is leaving Tennessee and returning
to Battelle headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. Madia has been ORNL's
director since April, 2000, when the University of Tennessee
and Battelle were selected to manage the Department of Energy's
billion-dollar research laboratory in Oak Ridge. In his new
job Madia will manage all of Battelle's DOE business, which
includes, in addition to Oak Ridge, Battelle's Columbus laboratories
and three other national laboratories in New York, Colorado
and Washington. Full
