Does Rockwell Deserve Award?
- Share via
Talk about welfare to the undeserving. What else can you call an award (The Times, Jan. 19) of over $1 million to Rockwell International by the Department of Energy for “noticeable improvement” in such areas as industrial hygiene and fire protection?
This despite failure to prepare a monitoring plan and failure to test air, soil and vegetation samples on and near the site.
Why should the taxpayer pay for what is Rockwell’s responsibility? Why should DOE spend millions for awards when it needs hundreds of billions to clean up the widespread contamination around its nuclear weapons plants? Does Rockwell really deserve any kind of award in face of its record and continued deficiencies?
