UC Wins Contract to Run Los Alamos

Posted by samzenpus on from the nuclear-hotel-california dept.

crlove writes "LA Times reports, 'The University of California today won its hard-fought bid to continue operating the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, beating back a challenge from a Lockheed Corp.-University of Texas team to run the nuclear weapons research facility... For months, the New Mexico laboratory had been shaken by allegations and revelations of theft, fraud, security lapses and lax oversight.'"

    Wow, so a University is now running an entire city. That's freaky!

      I think we need to impose strict trade sanctions on this University of California to try to pressure them into abandoning their nuclear weapons program. Obviously they are often over looked, but infact they may be as much of a threat to our way of life as Iran and North Korea. We can't let roque nations, like University of California, pursue their nuclear ambitions.
