Los Alamos Undergoes Operations Reorganization

Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Peter Nanos announced that the laboratory has reorganized its operations directorate into two separate teams, the Associated Press reported today (see GSN, Oct. 1).

The split, effective today, created a technical services directorate and a security and facility operations directorate, AP reported. No jobs are expected to be lost through the reorganization, according to Nanos.

Technical services will manage environmental protection and compliance; project management; performance surety; engineering and standards; health, safety and radiation counterintelligence; and internal security, according to AP. Security and Facility Operations will handle nuclear and waste operations, security and emergency operations.

“I am convinced that the reorganization of operations will result in improved operational efficiency and better alignment of professional services,” Nanos said. “As we continue to define our future, this is absolutely the right thing to do at the right time” (Associated Press, Oct. 13).
