Correction: The story “Construction Complete on Salt Waste Processing Facility at SRS, DOE Says” [Weapons Complex Morning Briefing Volume 1, No. 65] should have said the facility is designed to treat about 95 million gallons of salt waste.
Clarification: The same story should have attributed SWPF’s $2.3 billion total cost to the rebaseline DOE, not the contractor Parsons Government Services, approved in 2014.
NEW: Via public records request, I’ve been able to confirm reporting today that a warrant has been issued for DOE deputy asst. secretary of spent fuel and waste disposition Sam Brinton for another luggage theft, this time at Las Vegas’s Harry Reid airport. (cc: @EMPublications)
DOE spent fuel lead Brinton accused of second luggage theft.
