Additionally, several DOE officials and scientists have told me they believe that technical staff at the Hanford site is lacking, that they can't manage such a complex job with so few workers. It's not a stretch to say that Bechtel has done a miserable job out at Hanford, and they've been reprimanded on numerous occasions for their shoddy work. Even so, Bechtel is on the Hanford job and still moving deadline goalposts while pocketing a mountain of cash.
