DOE fines Bechtel Jacobs for radioactive spills: "DOE fines Bechtel Jacobs for radioactive spills

OAK RIDGE (WATE) -- The Department of Energy is fining Bechtel Jacobs $247,500 for its responsibility in dangerous chemical spills in Oak Ridge.
In May 2004 , radioactive material leaked from a truck during an environmental cleanup mission. That leak spread to public roads and forced the officials to close the road until the material could be cleaned up.
Then in August 2004 , four workers were exposed to radioactive materials while working with contaminated metal storage baskets on the Oak Ridge reservation.
Though both accidents involved subcontractors of Bechtel Jacobs, the company is being fined the entire penalty.
Other corrective actions have already been taken, including Bechtel Jacob's acceptance of responsibility for the subcontractors' performance."
