Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos has named Glenn Morgan as its new president and program manager overseeing legacy cleanup operations at the Energy Department’s Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
Morgan replaces Nick Lombardo, who retired in January, according to N3B. Morgan has been serving as acting program manager since January after joining N3B as program manager for engineering and nuclear safety when the company assumed management of LANL’s legacy cleanup contract in April 2018.
As president and program manager, Morgan heads a workforce more than 600 N3B employees and subcontractor personnel. A longtime employee of Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), one of N3B’s parent companies, Morgan has worked at the Naval Reactors Facility at the Idaho National Laboratory and other DOE sites during his 30-year career.
Lombardo had been with subsidiaries of Huntington Ingalls Industries and S.M. Stoller Corp., since 1995, according to his LinkedIn profile. Huntington Ingalls bought Stoller in January 2014.
Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos is responsible for cleaning up contaminated sites, along with packaging and transporting waste off-site for permanent disposal, under its 10-year, $1.38 billion cleanup contract for the DOE Environmental Management Los Alamos Field Office.
During fiscal 2020, the contractor is expected to focus on surface and groundwater management at LANL, which includes continuing interim measures to control migration of a hexavalent chromium plume beneath Mortandad and Sandia canyons. It is also expected to begin retrieval and processing of below-grade transuranic waste at Area G, in preparation for its ultimate shipment to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in southeastern New Mexico.
That is according to the Donald Trump administration’s $195 million environmental management budget request for Los Alamos, down about $25 million from the current appropriation.
