LOS ALAMOS NAMES MOUSSEAU NEW HEAD OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS

Jeff Mousseau, as expected, has been officially named Los Alamos National Laboratory’s new associate director of environmental programs, where he will oversee cleanup activities, the lab announced yesterday. Mousseau, who last served as a senior project manager for Los Alamos’ transuranic waste disposition program, replaces Michael Graham, who left Los Alamos last month to oversee commercial and governmental environmental management work for Bechtel National. As WC Monitor reported this summer, Mousseau had been widely seen as the leading candidate to replace Graham. Prior to coming to Los Alamos, Mousseau served as president of Bechtel BWXT Idaho, the previous managing contractor for the Idaho Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project. “Jeff shares my personal commitment to sustaining the current momentum of waste removal and cleanup that the Lab has steadily built over the past five years,” Laboratory Director Charlie McMillan said in a release. “His expertise in this area is outstanding, and will be highly valuable as we continue removing waste and cleaning up contamination left over from past activities in Los Alamos.”
