Management company settles for $18.4M after nuclear weapons plant staff fudged their timesheets

A company contracted to manage an Amarillo, Texas nuclear weapons facility has to pay US government $18.4 million in a settlement over allegations that its atomic boffins fudged their timesheets to collect more money from Uncle Sam.

Adding a few extra hours here and there may not seem like a huge deal, but the falsification of timesheets is considered a serious offense, and is often seen similarly to theft. It's a form of gross misconduct and can get most people fired, if caught. While CNS also manages and operates the Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee, which was built to enrich uranium for the Manhattan Project, and fuelled the, CNS recognized that time sheets were"falsely recorded" and that the NNSA and Department of Energy should be reimbursed for the time they paid to the company.
