For more than sixty years, the University of California has run Los Alamos National Laboratory on the Energy Department’s behalf. And, despite a seemingly-ceaseless array of financial, security, and safety scandals at the birthplace of the atom bomb — the latest came out just yesterday — the University will hold on to the lab’s $2.2 billion per year management contract. Just goes to show, no amount of incompetence can lose you a fat government deal. The Santa Fe New Mexican has the scoop. LANL: The Real Story has employee reacts.

What a total shame. Lockheed (a freakin defense contractor!) would have probably turned out a cold fusion bomb or something (maybe). And would have ran that place so much better.
