Excerpt:

The estimate for dealing with a brand-new however inoperable $ 213 million security system at the country 's nuclear bomb lab has actually doubled, officials with Los Alamos National Laboratory confirmed Friday. Lab director Charles McMillan delivered workers a memo this week stating it will cost an additional $ 41 million and take 6 months to take care of the system, which has actually been under construction for seven years and was expected to be complete this summertime. That is double what officials estimated a few weeks ago, when problems with the security system were initially stated. McMillan called performance on the project "unacceptable" and said it has actually damaged the lab's reliability. The revised estimates follow a testimonial of the project by officials at the lab and the National Nuclear Security Administration, the federal firm that supervises Los Alamos.
