Full PCs w/ hoods outdoors. Placing water intrusion cover over snow. Walking on the clean new cover. Holding down the cover with sandbags. Yes, interesting.

Well, an article, photographs and a big "milestone" headline announcement!!!!!

a bunch of laborers spreading a plastic tarp and tossing sandbags adjacent to a decrepit, lockdown painted building is a milestone,....

I have to assume this is a really anti-climatic, whimpering punctuation mark on the end of something much more "milestone" worthy,...

but, you have to admit, the optics are all "really?, no!, seriously?!?!?!?!?!?!",...

Wondering if this will be the same picture of what it will look like at the Hanford WTP when they determine that glass vit is not the solution to processing waste?  It appears to be the same mentality.

You're actually dead on, in that 60 ton vitrification door being "lowered" to the ground was the highpoint of the project.
