Case of Walter Tamosaitis

Introduction

Dr. Walter Tamosaitis, Research & Technology Manager for the Waste Treatment Plant, was removed from the project in July 2010 after raising safety concerns. The concerns include issues that would impact the overall safety and operation of the plant. In Dr. Tamosaitis's letter to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board he wrote, “I believe that the practices I have observed and experience in the WTP of seeking to suppress safety and other design concerns may adversely affect future public health and safety, result in a less-than-adequate design and waste taxpayer money” (Richardson, 78)
