BECHTEL PROPOSES REORGANIZATION OF WTP MANAGEMENT

Bechtel National is looking to conduct a significant reorganization of its management at the Hanford Waste Treatment Plant, Weapons Complex Monitor has learned. Many details of BNI’s proposal, which has been submitted to the Department of Energy for approval, remain unclear, though it reportedly would include modifications to the contractor’s Environmental and Nuclear Safety organization and the transfer of E&NS Manager Donna Busche out of her position. For its part, DOE appears likely to reject Bechtel National’s proposal, though no final decision has yet been made. When reached for comment late yesterday, Bechtel National spokesman Todd Nelson said he was unaware of any management reorganization proposal.
