New Mexico levies 54 million penalty on DOE over WIPP incidents
The New Mexico Environment Department ordered penalties exceeding 54 million dollars against the U S Department of Energy for more than 30 permit violations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and Los Alamos National Laboratory. The action stems from a February canister rupture that contaminated workers and halted the WIPP. The total penalties include 36.6 million dollars against Los Alamos as regulators pledge ongoing investigation and potential further sanctions.
