Letter to the Editor: Bowman Response To Kosiewicz
By Charles D. BowmanKosiewicz, apparently from his letter, a key leader in establishing the design basis for WIPP, says he retired from LANL 11 years ago. It would have served readers well if he had not relied on memory before commenting on our analysis of the barrel incident and our “errors and omissions.”
Among his misstatements:
- He writes, “In our experiments, the major gases produced from radiolysis of cellulosics were carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide with lesser amounts of hydrogen.” However Fig. 10 of Zerwechk’s 1979 LANL
Roger This: Here We Go Again With The Bomb Factory
By ROGER SNODGRASS
Los Alamos Daily Post
A new report from the Government Accountability Office finds little to like about the latest plans for building plutonium production and analysis capacity at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Congress has asked the lab to step up its potential to supply pits, or plutonium triggers, for the existing nuclear arsenal and meet the needs of a modernized inventory of nuclear weapons, while making way for additional process equipment upgrades.
DOE and the National Nuclear Security Administration have the responsibility to forge a strategy to pick Read More
