Frank Munger reports that we now have a price tag for the mistakes made at the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Y-12 plant in the design of a new uranium processing facility for maintenance of US nuclear weapons:
[T]he design had to be reworked at a cost of $539 million.
That’s the full change in “total project cost”, Frank tells me. You’ll recall that UPF is the major NNSA nuclear project that got the go-ahead while the agency put a parallel project to do plutonium work at Los Alamos on hold a year ago.
