Allison Scott Majure has left her position as communications director for the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) to accept a similar post with Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos (N3B), the new legacy cleanup contractor for the Energy Department’s Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory in the state.
Majure became a marketing and communications leader at N3B last month after spending more than three years as a media contact for the state agency, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The New Mexico Environment Department is state regulator for cleanup at Los Alamos and also oversees hazardous waste permits for both LANL and DOE’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad. Prior to joining NMED, Majure worked eight years at the Los Alamos County Department of Public Utilities.
The New Mexico Environment Department had not hired a new communications officer as of Wednesday.
The N3B team is comprised of Stoller Newport News Nuclear (SN3) and BWXT Technical Service Group, along with key subcontractors Longenecker & Associates and Tech2 Solutions. N3B received a potential 10-year, $1.39 billion legacy cleanup contract in December, and officially became the LANL cleanup contractor at the end of April. The work includes surface and groundwater monitoring and compliance, meeting terms of a 2016 state-federal consent order on cleanup, and finding solutions for a chromium plume at LANL.
