Delegation Concerned Over Y-12 Contracts

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Members of the Tennessee Delegation are continuing to express their concerns to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) about the potential consolidation of the management contracts at the Y-12 Plant, the Pantex Plant in Texas, and the Savannah River Tritium Operations in South Carolina.

U.S. Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, and U.S. Reps. Zach Wamp, Lincoln Davis, John Tanner, John Duncan, Jim Cooper, Marsha Blackburn, Phil Roe and Bart Gordon wrote to NNSA Administrator Thomas D’Agostino expressing their concern that combining the contracts will jeopardize the sites’ ability to execute national security missions.

Sen. Alexander is scheduled to meet with NNSA Administrator Thomas D’Agostino on November 8 to discuss his concerns that the consolidation would delay modernization of American nuclear weapons facilities and require changes to the security contract and pension plans at Y-12 that don’t make sense.  Sen. Bob Corker has discussed the matter with D’Agostino as well.

Rep. Zach Wamp recently spoke with Daniel Poneman, Deputy Secretary of Energy, to express his concern that a combined contract would have far reaching ramifications—changing the way Y-12 conducts business at a critical time, and potentially jeopardizing the future of the Uranium Processing Facility and significantly adding to its cost.

Rep. Lincoln Davis has and will continue to communicate with Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, D’Agostino, as well as General Garrett Harencak to express his concerns and insistence that any plan NNSA moves forward with must protect the core mission and workers at Y-12, and the completion of UPF to garner congressional support.
