DOE does like their works programs.  I didn't know West Valley DP, south of Buffalo, was a works program.  They'll drag that out forever and find some tiny mission after the soil and water cleanup (not in my lifetime). Cutting out and moving the subfloor grouted high-level waste will take forever.

Yes, with DOE as the customer and regulator there is a bit of conflict. I have done a number of DOE jobs. Main contractor on long term contracts seem to revert to a large company status where safety rules accumulate and sometimes are not job specific. At one large remediation project the main contractor was being phased out. On one side of the construction barrier the main contractor to change a light bulb on the side of a building submitted a request that got a full workup that was passed on to Rad Pro and industrial hygiene. After a bit of back and forth it was approved and scheduled for work including a request for scaffolding. On the other side of the barrier, they had a standing work order and RWP. The worker used a ladder and used the permitted three-point stance to reach and change the bulb. A couple of hours vice a couple of weeks. Toolbox knowledge also is vastly different. The main contract seems to want to tell a carpenter how to use a hammer and subcontractor hires competent experienced workers.

Rant over, a pet peeve can you tell.  8)
