Company fires scientist who warned of Hanford waste site problems

4. I'm skeptical.

The article states that his concerns were validated.

However, I checked with DOE and found no evidence that the problems were those raised by Tamosaitas.

It's true that DOE / Bechtel are having problems in the building of the plant. Suppliers are apparently not documenting when they deviate from the approved design. This has been going on for some time now.

I don't believe there is anything wrong with the design itself. The original reprocessing plants built by DuPont at Hanford worked just fine.

This is an old report. Tamosaitis filed a lawsuit on this and had his day in Court; and his lawsuit was DISMISSED:
